Jorge Luis Lerma, a 22-year-old Hispanic man from San Antonio, Texas, was fatally shot on February 6, 2021. The Bexar County Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide from a gunshot wound to the chest. The shooting occurred on the East Side in the 100 block of Omaha Street while Lerma was sitting inside his vehicle.

Witnesses reported four men on foot in the area firing a total of 10 shots; one bullet struck Lerma. He was taken to Brooke Army Medical Center in serious condition and later died. Investigators identified four suspects and searched for them; police were told the men might have gone into a nearby house a few blocks away, but that house was found vacant.

The shooting prompted community concern about gun violence and calls for improved safety in the neighborhood. If anyone saw the group of men near Omaha Street that evening or has information about the suspects, please come forward to help the investigation.
