Manuel Rios, age 51, was murdered on August 1, 2016, while he was walking to a bus stop in San Antonio, Texas. The incident occurred around 4:00 a.m. in the 4600 block of Dietrich Road. Rios had been seen leaving his apartment around 3:30 a.m. before heading toward the bus stop. He was later found dead, having been attacked by unknown suspects. No motive was immediately apparent, and the police were left seeking public assistance for leads on the case.
Crime Stoppers offered a reward of up to $5,000 for information that could help identify the perpetrators.
The San Antonio Police Department classified the attack as a homicide, and urged anyone with information to contact authorities. Rios' family described him as a hard-working individual, and his sudden death was both shocking and devastating to them. Investigators hoped that a reward and public outreach would encourage anyone with knowledge of the incident to come forward, but as of the latest information available, the case remained unsolved.
