Alexis Salinas Trevino was a 30-year-old woman and a mother of three from San Antonio, Texas. Her family described her as a "beautiful daughter" who was raising her children. Following her death, her mother was left to care for the three children Alexis left behind.
On the night of Saturday, September 16, 2023, police responded to a two-vehicle crash on the city's West Side. The collision happened around 9:30 p.m. at the intersection of Buena Vista Street and Panuco Street.
When officers first arrived, they believed the driver of one of the vehicles, an SUV, had fled the scene.
Upon closer inspection, however, authorities found Alexis Salinas Trevino lying down inside the SUV. Once first responders were able to get her out of the vehicle, they discovered she had been shot twice in the back of the head. She was transported to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead a short time later. The occupants of the other vehicle were seen by EMS and released at the scene.
Investigators searched the area for evidence and found bullet holes that went through the back window and headrest of the SUV. San Antonio police stated that they had no suspect information or description. As of September 2023, the case remains unsolved and the investigation is ongoing.
