Dimitri Delgado, age 21, was shot and killed on November 7, 2008, in San Antonio, Texas. His death took place under unclear circumstances that have left his family and community searching for answers. Delgado, also known as "Pie," was commemorated with a memorial that honors his memory and the impact he had on those who knew him.
The investigation into Delgado's death did not yield immediate results, and the case seemed to go cold for some time. However, it was later noted that Gilbert Rico, who was eventually linked to a 2008 death by DNA evidence, was sentenced to 50 years in prison in 2016. This case involved DNA analysis that tied Rico to the crime scene, although he initially denied any involvement. Despite the conviction, the exact circumstances and motives behind Delgado's death remain part of a broader discussion about justice and accountability in unsolved cases in San Antonio.
Delgado's death remains a poignant reminder of the many unsolved cases that plague communities, with families continuing to seek justice years later. His family still remembers him fondly, and they hope that the story will motivate anyone with information to come forward and help bring closure to this tragic incident.
