On the evening of February 15, 2023, 29-year-old Refugio Alvarez was fatally shot at a Northwest Side apartment complex in San Antonio, Texas. The incident occurred just before 9 p.m. in the 10500 block of Bandera Road. Upon arrival, San Antonio police officers found Alvarez in the parking lot, suffering from two gunshot wounds to the chest and one to the hand. He was promptly transported to University Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
The Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office later confirmed his death as a homicide.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, the suspect fled the scene before law enforcement could apprehend him. Witnesses described the suspect as a male, but no further details regarding his identity or appearance were available at that time. The motive behind the shooting remained unclear, and investigators urged anyone with information to come forward to assist in identifying and locating the perpetrator.
As of December 27, 2024, there have been no publicly reported arrests or identification of suspects in connection with the murder of Refugio Alvarez. The case appears to remain unsolved, with law enforcement continuing to seek leads. The lack of new information has been a source of frustration for the community and Alvarez's family, who are seeking justice for their loved one.
The San Antonio Police Department continues to encourage anyone with information about this case to contact them or reach out to Crime Stoppers anonymously. Community involvement is crucial in resolving such cases, and authorities hope that renewed attention may lead to a breakthrough in the investigation.
