Rafael Calderon, age 33, was found dead on February 7, 2014, in San Antonio, Texas. His body was discovered by a postal worker in the 800 block of Mauermann Road on the South Side of the city. The worker noticed a group of buzzards gathered on the side of the road, leading to the discovery of Calderon's remains. The Bexar County Medical Examiner's office identified the cause of death as "homicidal violence" and indicated that Calderon had been killed elsewhere and dumped at the location days before being found.
The San Antonio Police Department investigated the case as a homicide, focusing on locating any leads that could provide insight into the circumstances surrounding Calderon's death. Despite their efforts, the investigation faced challenges due to a lack of information regarding potential suspects or witnesses. The authorities urged anyone with knowledge about the incident to contact the SAPD's Homicide Unit to help bring justice for Calderon and closure for his family. The case remains a stark reminder of the importance of community cooperation in solving violent crimes.
