Luis Mario Garcia was 19 when he was shot and killed on December 13, 2022, on the Northeast Side of San Antonio. He was found lying in the 100 block of Roundtree Lane near Interstate 35 and Randolph Boulevard with multiple gunshot wounds beside his crashed car, and was pronounced dead at Brooke Army Medical Center. Shell casings from a handgun and a rifle were recovered, and witnesses reported a white vehicle fleeing the scene.

Surveillance footage and phone messages are central to the case. An arrest warrant affidavit says footage showed a white SUV arriving, Luis driving past it, then the SUV turning to follow his car; both vehicles left camera view and gunshots followed. Messages on Luis’s phone suggested he had asked someone to come over. Fernando Gonzalez Canedo, 19, was arrested and charged with murder; he was later found with gunshot wounds and told investigators he had been robbed, though detectives believe his injuries were from the shootout. Bond was set at $250,000.

The motive remains unclear and the investigation is ongoing. Did anyone in the San Antonio area see a white sedan or Jeep-type vehicle that night or know why Luis might have arranged to meet someone?
