A woman is shot to death in a drive-by shooting
On July 15, 1992, Erica Espinoza, aged 23, was killed in a drive-by shooting while standing at the front door of her home on Rita Street in San Antonio, Texas. The incident occurred around 11 p.m., and it was later determined that neither she nor her home were the intended targets. The actual target was believed to be a neighbor. Another individual was also injured but survived the shooting. The case remains unsolved, and Espinoza's family continues to seek justice, urging authorities to reopen the investigation.
The case has remained one of San Antonio's notable cold cases, with Erica's family repeatedly calling for a fresh examination of the evidence in hopes of bringing closure. Despite extensive investigations at the time, no suspects were charged, and the shooter has not been identified. Local authorities have been encouraged to revisit the case, as family members believe advancements in technology or new witnesses may offer crucial insights. The tragedy serves as a stark reminder of innocent lives lost due to senseless violence.
