Donita Elizabeth Henry-Phillips was 11 when she was killed in a drive-by shooting in San Antonio on August 15, 2020. She was a passenger in an SUV with six other children and an adult when occupants of another vehicle opened fire on Walzem Road around 6 p.m. Donita died the following morning at a local hospital; a 35-year-old woman in the vehicle was also critically injured and listed in stable condition.

Donita was remembered by family and her community as sweet, lovely, and vivacious. She was a cheerleader with the Judson Youth Football Association’s Venom organization, and vigils were held after the shooting. Authorities described the attack as senseless and said they believe the shooting was random; the motive remained under investigation.

On January 4, 2021, police arrested 22-year-old D’Morea Keys and charged him with capital murder, identifying him as the driver of the vehicle involved and citing video footage that linked him to the incident. Bond was set at $500,000 and investigators indicated more charges were expected.

Did anyone in the area see activity on Walzem Road that evening or have information about the vehicles involved?
