On October 11, 2021, 51-year-old Javier Francisco Nava Mendoza was shot and killed in San Antonio, Texas, around 7 a.m. on West Hermine Boulevard. His vehicle then rolled into a fence and came to rest in a front yard. He was found unconscious and later died at a hospital.

Investigators say surveillance footage and public tips identified 19-year-old Auguston Kane Medelez as one of the suspects. An anonymous tip reportedly led police to Medelez’s social media, where he allegedly discussed the shooting, mentioned police attention, and asked about obtaining more 9 mm ammunition. Medelez lived a few blocks from the scene; police obtained a warrant for his accounts and phone number and charged him with first-degree murder. The arrest report states the two suspects intended to rob Mendoza and took his cell phone after the shooting. Authorities are still seeking the second suspect; Crime Stoppers has offered a reward for information.

If anyone knew Javier, saw activity on West Hermine Boulevard that morning, or has information about the second suspect, please share what is known.
