Janette Quiroz, a 37-year-old woman from San Antonio, Texas, tragically lost her life on April 9, 2019. She was fatally shot outside the Rosemont at University Park apartments along with her 18-year-old pregnant daughter, Bernadett Quiroz. The incident also resulted in the death of Bernadett's unborn child, Tabitha Quiroz, who was delivered via C-section but passed away three days later.
The suspect in this case is a 14-year-old boy who was already in custody for an unrelated aggravated
robbery charge when he was charged with capital murder in connection with the deaths of Janette and Bernadett Quiroz. The teenager's identity has not been disclosed by authorities, and it remains unclear what his relationship to the victims was or what led to the shooting.
San Antonio police have not yet determined a motive for the shooting, and the investigation is ongoing. The Quiroz family has called for justice and is seeking the death penalty for the gunman. The case has drawn significant attention due to the tragic loss of three generations in one violent incident.
The suspect appeared in court, and it was decided that he would remain in juvenile detention while the district attorney's office decides whether to try him as an adult. The legal proceedings are ongoing, and the family continues to seek closure and justice for their loved ones.
This tragic event has left a lasting impact on the Quiroz family and the community, highlighting the devastating consequences of gun violence and the importance of seeking justice for the victims.
