Adrian Mata, a 21-year-old man from San Antonio, Texas, was tragically shot and killed on September 22, 2018. Adrian was with his girlfriend at her home on Paradise Road when he received a text message and went outside to meet someone. Shortly after, several gunshots were heard, and Adrian was found with multiple gunshot wounds. He was rushed to the hospital but later pronounced dead.
The investigation revealed that Adrian was involved in low-level marijuana sales, but it remains unclear
if this was connected to his death. Witnesses reported seeing a dark-colored Ford Mustang leaving the scene, but no suspects have been identified. The Bexar County Sheriff's Office has offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of those responsible.
Adrian's family has been vocal about seeking justice for him. His mother, Natasha Mata, described Adrian as a well-respected and loving individual who had a bright future ahead of him. Despite the passage of time, the case remains unsolved, and the family continues to hope for answers.
The investigation is ongoing, and Crime Stoppers is involved, urging anyone with information to come forward. The family and authorities are determined to bring Adrian's killers to justice and provide closure to those who loved him.
