Rayne Rice Silva was 27 when she was fatally shot during a drive-by attack on December 17, 2022, while visiting family in San Antonio. She was riding in a car on Interstate 10 with her husband and two children when an unknown assailant shot her in the head around 7:45 p.m. near Colorado Street. Silva was taken to hospital and died of her injuries on December 19, 2022.

The motive remains unclear and no arrests have been announced. San Antonio police released images of a dark-colored SUV seen traveling westbound on Cesar E. Chavez Boulevard at S. Flores Street moments before the shooting. Family members say Silva had recently won a singing contest and was pursuing a spot on a reality TV competition; they describe her as a devoted mother to her children Nakoma and Malachite and a partner in a small woodworking business with her husband. A GoFundMe for funeral and medical expenses has raised over $19,000.

Anyone who knew Rayne, witnessed the incident, or has information about the dark-colored SUV is asked to contact Crime Stoppers.
