Johnny Montoya, 31, male, was found shot to death late morning on August 16, 2025, on San Antonio's West Side, near Highway 90 and Dorris Street. He was discovered around 11 a.m. by a mail carrier on his route, and investigators determined he had been fatally shot; the case was immediately treated as a homicide.
Hours earlier, shortly after 3 a.m.
the same day, officers had responded to gunfire in the 2400 block of South Calaveras Street, where a large group had gathered in a parking lot when an unknown assailant pulled up and began shooting. Two people were struck: a 58-year-old man and a 17-year-old. Later that week, the Bexar County Medical Examiner pronounced the 58-year-old, David Montoya—the father of Johnny Montoya, 31, male—dead from a gunshot wound, and both killings were ruled homicides.
Police tied the morning parking-lot shooting to the killing of Johnny Montoya, 31, male, whose body was found roughly 500 feet away on Dorris Street. Neighbors reported the mail carrier's discovery near the sidewalk just before 11 a.m., and authorities publicly identified the victim in the days that followed. Candles and prayers marked the spot in the week after, as family and friends gathered to mourn.
As of late August 2025, detectives had not announced any arrests, and they had not publicly named a suspect or suspects. Investigators continued to probe the connection between the two scenes and asked the community for information, while the family of Johnny Montoya, 31, male, pleaded for anyone with knowledge to come forward.
