Abigail Alexsandra Alcorta, an 18-year-old female of Hispanic ethnicity, tragically lost her life on February 3, 2019, in San Antonio, Texas. Abigail was known for her active involvement in sports at South San High School, including soccer, basketball, track, and volleyball, as well as her participation in the cosmetology club. She was beloved by her family and friends, and her untimely death left a significant void in their lives.
The circumstances surrounding Abigail's death were
particularly harrowing. She was sitting in an SUV near Fairshire and Five Palms Drive on the Southwest Side of San Antonio when a black vehicle pulled up, and someone inside opened fire. Abigail and her 18-year-old friend, who was also in the car, were both hit by gunfire and rushed to University Hospital. Despite the efforts of medical professionals, Abigail succumbed to her injuries, while her friend survived but sustained injuries.
The investigation into Abigail's murder has been challenging for law enforcement. The San Antonio Police Department faced a shortage of evidence and witnesses, making it difficult to identify the perpetrators. Despite issuing a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and urging the public to come forward with any information, the case remains unsolved. The lack of progress in the investigation has been a source of frustration and heartache for Abigail's family and friends, who continue to seek justice for her senseless death.
In the years since Abigail's murder, there have been no arrests or significant breakthroughs in the case. The San Antonio Police Department and Crime Stoppers have continued to appeal to the public for assistance, hoping that someone with information will come forward to help bring closure to this tragic event. The memory of Abigail Alexsandra Alcorta lives on through the love and support of her family, friends, and community, who honor her legacy by seeking justice and raising awareness about her case.
