Ditraniq Hawkins, a 21-year-old woman from San Antonio, Texas, tragically lost her life on December 2, 2017, due to a drive-by shooting. She was eight weeks pregnant at the time of her death. Hawkins was a passenger in her boyfriend's car when a black sedan started chasing them. The assailants opened fire, hitting Hawkins and her boyfriend. Hawkins was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to her injuries.
The investigation into her murder revealed that the black sedan had dark-tinted
windows and damage to the right-back passenger door area. Despite extensive efforts, the case remains unsolved, and no arrests have been made. The San Antonio Police Department has continued to seek the public's help, offering a $5,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest.
Hawkins' mother, Desiree Hawkins-Avilez, has publicly urged anyone with information to come forward, emphasizing the impact of her daughter's death on their family and the unborn child. The community has been encouraged to provide tips to Crime Stoppers to aid in the investigation.
The lack of significant leads and the passage of time have made this case particularly challenging for law enforcement. However, the hope remains that new information will surface, bringing justice for Ditraniq Hawkins and closure for her family.
