Christopher Lozano, a 34-year-old Hispanic male, was tragically shot and killed on July 27, 2017, outside his home on the West Side of San Antonio, Texas. The incident occurred around 9 p.m. when Lozano was standing outside his residence on El Paso Street near Castroville Road. He was reportedly consoling his sister following an earlier shooting incident involving his nephews, who had been arrested and charged with murder.
As Lozano was outside, a gray four-door Nissan drove by, and someone inside the vehicle fired several shots at him. He was rushed to a hospital but unfortunately succumbed to his injuries.
The San Antonio Police Department launched an investigation into Lozano's murder, but the case remains unsolved. Investigators believe the shooting was an act of retaliation related to the earlier incident involving Lozano's nephews. Despite efforts to gather information and leads, no arrests have been made, and the suspect or suspects responsible for the drive-by shooting have not been identified. Lozano's wife, Sylvia Gallegos, has been vocal about the need for justice and closure for her family. She described her husband as an innocent bystander who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
In the years following Lozano's death, the police have continued to seek new leads and tips from the public. Crime Stoppers has offered a reward of up to $5,000 for information that could lead to the arrest of Lozano's killer. The case has garnered attention from local media, and the San Antonio Police Department has urged anyone with information to come forward and help solve the case. Lozano's family, including his wife and five children, continue to mourn his loss and hope for justice to be served.
