Sabstein Diaz, 16, was shot and killed on September 4, 2020, at about 9:30 p.m. while sitting in a stolen SUV at The Estates at Northwest Henderson Pass in San Antonio, Texas. Diaz, a Hispanic male, sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Four men were in the vehicle when two men approached, argued with the occupants and then opened fire. Diaz had driven to the apartment complex after being contacted through a social media app and was there to sell THC cartridges.

San Antonio police identified persons of interest and arrested Julian Vera, 20, and Mario Duarte, 17, on murder charges. Surveillance video shown at trial captured Duarte and Vera approaching the SUV and running away after the shooting; Diaz exited the vehicle and collapsed. Duarte was later found not guilty of murder but still faces an aggravated robbery charge; Julian Vera remains awaiting trial. Diaz’s family said they were heartbroken and felt justice was not served.

Did anyone in the area see the SUV or the people involved that night, or know about the social media contact that led Diaz to that location?
