Edgar Emiliano Rojas was a 14-year-old Hispanic boy from San Antonio who died during an early-morning shooting on Saturday, July 23, 2022. He and his teenage cousin, Edgar Menchaca, were inside a parked car in the 1800 block of Schley Avenue on the city’s southeast side when one of the teens placed a 911 call around 2:30 a.m. saying he had been shot in the neck. First responders found both boys with critical gunshot wounds; Rojas had been shot in the head and was pronounced dead at the scene, and Menchaca later died at a hospital from wounds to the neck and chest.

The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed both identities and causes of death. San Antonio police opened a homicide investigation; early reports did not make clear whether the shooter had been inside or outside the vehicle. Authorities later arrested Joshua Reyes and charged him with capital murder in connection with the deaths; the case against Reyes is in litigation.

Does anyone have information about the events on Schley Avenue that night or knew either of the boys?
