On the morning of April 11, 2020, San Antonio police responded to a shooting at the La Quinta Inn on the 7100 block of N.W. Loop 410. Officers found 34-year-old Hispanic male Jeffery Alvarado suffering from a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene and the incident was classified as a homicide. The San Antonio Police Department’s Homicide Unit opened the investigation.

Authorities identified 35-year-old Angelina Sacriste as a person of interest after witnesses reported seeing her fleeing the scene shortly after the shooting. Police did not immediately call her a suspect but said locating her for questioning was important and noted she had several outstanding warrants unrelated to the shooting. In the days after the homicide a 34-year-old woman was arrested on drug charges; investigators said she might have information relevant to Alvarado’s death, though details of her connection were not disclosed. No homicide charges had been filed and the case remained open.

Alvarado was remembered by friends and family as high-spirited, funny and helpful. He attended Anson Jones Middle School and John Jay High School and left behind two sons. If anyone has information about this shooting or the whereabouts of persons of interest, contact the San Antonio Police Department’s Homicide Unit.
