Imelda Rincon, a 22-year-old woman from San Antonio, Texas, tragically lost her life on August 28, 2014. She was killed in a double shooting at her West Side apartment on Suzette Avenue. The incident occurred around 4:00 a.m. when two masked gunmen forcibly entered the apartment and shot Imelda and her boyfriend, Cipriano Aguilar, who was 20 years old.
Both victims were found dead at the scene, with Imelda suffering gunshot wounds to the head and neck, and Cipriano sustaining multiple gunshot wounds.
The San Antonio Police Department launched an investigation into the double homicide, treating it as a targeted attack rather than a random act of violence. The shooters fled the scene in a dark SUV, which was later found burned in a nearby area. Despite extensive investigations, the police have not yet identified the suspects or made any arrests related to the case. Authorities believe that family members might have known the couple was in danger, but Imelda's father denied any knowledge of potential threats.
Imelda Rincon was described by her family as a hard-working young woman who worked at a nearby bingo hall and was a graduate of Memorial High School. Her father, Hector Rincon, expressed his grief and confusion over the senseless killing, emphasizing that Imelda was not involved in any gangs or criminal activities.
The investigation remains open, and the San Antonio Police Department continues to seek information about the suspects and the circumstances leading to the tragic deaths of Imelda Rincon and Cipriano Aguilar.
