In the early morning hours of March 11, 2026, the life of 19-year-old Devin Farias was tragically cut short in what police believe was a robbery turned homicide at a far West Side San Antonio apartment complex. The incident unfolded just before 1:50 a.m. in the 7600 block of West U.S. Highway 90.
According to witnesses, Farias was at an apartment waiting for an individual who was supposed to purchase an item from him. Instead, three men arrived and forced their way into the residence.
The men demanded Farias's property without payment. They then physically assaulted him and shot him multiple times before fleeing the scene in an unknown direction.
When San Antonio police officers arrived at the Vaquero Apartments, they found Farias with multiple gunshot wounds. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. The Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office later confirmed that Devin Farias died from the gunshot wounds and ruled his death a homicide. Two women, aged 22 and 23, were also inside the apartment at the time of the incident and provided their account of the events to the police.
As of the initial reports, the suspects were described only as three unknown males, and no arrests had been made in connection with the fatal shooting. The San Antonio Police Department's investigation into the death of Devin Farias is ongoing. A GoFundMe page was created to offer support to his family.
