David Montoya, age 58, male, was shot during the pre-dawn hours of August 16, 2025, when gunfire erupted in the 2400 block of South Calaveras Street on San Antonio's West Side. Police said a large group had gathered in a parking lot when an unknown suspect pulled up and began firing, striking two people at that scene, including David Montoya, age 58, male.
Hours later, a second crime scene unfolded roughly 500 feet away on Dorris Street, where a mail carrier discovered the body of 30-year-old Johnny Montoya—David Montoya's son—lying near the sidewalk, also killed by gunfire. Authorities later connected the two shootings.
David Montoya, age 58, male, was transported to a hospital after the South Calaveras Street shooting and, according to the medical examiner's timeline reported by local media, he died days later from a gunshot wound to the torso. Both deaths were ruled homicides and investigated together as a double homicide, with family and neighbors gathering at vigils in the days that followed to mourn the father and son.
As of late August 2025, investigators had not announced an arrest. Police described the shooter at the South Calaveras Street scene only as an unknown suspect who drove up and opened fire on the crowd before fleeing. Officials publicly asked anyone with information to come forward, while memorial listings documented David Montoya, age 58, male, as having been lost to gun violence on August 16 in San Antonio.
