Xavier Gene Esquivel was 17 when he was killed in a drive-by shooting in San Antonio on August 30, 2020. He was seated in a parked car at the corner of South Olive Street and Aransas Avenue, giving friends a ride, when a white SUV pulled up and fired at least 20 rounds into the vehicle. Xavier’s girlfriend, 19-year-old Vianeth Ramos, who was four months pregnant, was also killed; two other teenagers in the car survived their injuries.

Xavier, born October 27, 2002, was described as a fan of basketball, Xbox gaming and bean and cheese tacos. The San Antonio Police Department called the incident a targeted hit. No arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved despite a reward offered by police and Crime Stoppers. Families of both victims have publicly demanded justice and continue to press for answers.
