Enrique Bocanegra, 66, was shot and killed inside his San Antonio home on the afternoon of February 21, 2022, when a stray bullet from a nearby gunfight struck him. Neighbors described him as a helpful, familiar presence who tended his yard; employees at a nearby convenience store said he came in daily to play lottery tickets.

Police say the shooting began as a drug-related robbery that escalated into a shootout near the intersection of Blanco Road and West Mariposa Drive. Five people in a green Chevrolet Suburban intended to rob a man of narcotics. A 14-year-old, Christopher James Mejia, jumped from the vehicle and tried to grab a bag, and he and 17-year-old Jerry Ortiz exchanged gunfire; at least one shot was also fired from inside the Suburban. Mejia was killed at the scene, another 17-year-old passenger was critically wounded, and Bocanegra was struck in his home by a stray bullet and died instantly.

Investigators identified occupants from surveillance footage; four surviving occupants were arrested soon after, and Ortiz turned himself in two days later. All five — Oscar Martinez, Ortiz, and three juveniles — were charged with capital murder in the deaths of Bocanegra and Mejia. Does anyone have information about Bocanegra’s movements that afternoon or saw the green Suburban in the neighborhood?
