Novita Brazil, 25, was killed on October 4, 2022, in San Antonio when two teenagers fired more than 100 rounds into what they believed was a rival gang member’s house. The teens had the wrong address; Brazil was studying at home in the early hours and was killed instantly. A 41-year-old woman renting a room in the house was also injured.

One shooter is identified as 17-year-old Isaac Gonzales; the other is an unnamed 15-year-old who has not been publicly identified because of his age. Both were arrested and charged with murder. They were initially released on bond and later re-arrested after cutting off their GPS-enabled ankle monitors. Gonzales was sentenced to 40 years for murder and 20 years for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon; the younger defendant was certified to stand trial as an adult.

The attack drew attention for its scale and apparent recklessness and devastated Brazil’s family and friends. Does anyone have memories of Brazil or information about the night of October 4, 2022 that could help this thread?
