Rene Ray Rodriguez Jr., a 20-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed on October 7, 2020, while sleeping in his family’s home on the Southeast Side of San Antonio. The suspect walked into his bedroom and shot him multiple times; Rene’s mother found the scene and called police. Evidence suggested there was no forced entry and the shooter fled immediately after the attack.

San Antonio police later arrested two 13-year-olds in connection with the killing: a girl who was Rene’s younger sister and her boyfriend. Both were charged with murder. Reports note the girl had a history of runaway attempts and her relationship with the boy was mentioned as part of the background, but the motive remains unclear.

The family organized a fundraiser to help cover funeral expenses and the community offered support. Does anyone have information about Rene or the events that led up to that night?
