Daniel Bocanegra, a 23-year-old male of Hispanic ethnicity, was tragically shot and killed on May 29, 2016, in San Antonio, Texas. His body was discovered early Sunday morning outside the Woodhill Apartments in the 4900 block of Woodstone Drive. The San Antonio Police Department was called to the scene just before 1 a.m., where they found Bocanegra had been shot and killed.
Bocanegra's family described him as smart, loving, and someone who stayed out of trouble.
He had a good job and supported his family, including his two young daughters. His mother, Stella Barron, mentioned that a lot of people were jealous of him because he was trying to make it and save money for a car. The family is now preparing to bury the man who was a son, brother, and father.
The investigation into Bocanegra's death revealed that officers initially couldn't find any witnesses to the crime. However, Bocanegra's family mentioned that a detective told them a person of interest in the case was the last known friend he was with, though the San Antonio Police Department hasn't confirmed this information. Bocanegra's mother last saw him on Friday night before he went out with friends.
Despite the ongoing investigation, no arrests have been made, and the case remains unsolved. The family is struggling with funeral expenses and has started a fundraiser to help cover the costs. The community has shown support for the family during this difficult time.
The tragic death of Daniel Bocanegra has left a void in the lives of his loved ones, and the search for justice continues as the San Antonio Police Department works to find those responsible for his untimely death.
