Albert Floyd Provens II, aged 28, was tragically killed on December 2, 2013, in San Antonio, Texas. The incident took place during a violent shooting on the East Side of San Antonio, which also left another individual injured. According to reports, the shooting occurred in the 500 block of South Olive Street, around 10:30 p.m. that night. Witnesses described the event as a chaotic gun battle that broke out at a house in the neighborhood, ultimately leading to Provens' death and the
hospitalization of another victim with gunshot wounds to the neck.
The investigation into Provens' death revealed the presence of multiple gunmen, but identifying the perpetrators proved to be challenging. The case was marked by a lack of leads and information that could help authorities make arrests. Despite the seriousness of the incident and the loss experienced by his loved ones, the case remains unresolved, contributing to the list of cold cases that the San Antonio Police Department continues to investigate.
Provens' family and friends remembered him fondly through memorials and services held in his honor. A visitation took place at the O. J. Carter Memorial Chapel, and a service was later held at Coliseum Park Baptist Church. His death serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges related to gun violence in the area and the need for community cooperation to solve such cases and bring justice to victims and their families.
