Andrew Salazar was 27 when he was shot and killed in San Antonio, Texas, on January 22, 2020. Born March 22, 1992, he was described as a music lover and devoted father to his young son, Andrew Avery Salazar Jr. His parents are Jesus A. Salazar and Elisa L. Salazar.

Reports say the killing appeared targeted. Andrew had survived a drive-by shooting at his home in June 2019, and investigators later tied his death into a broader pattern of violence involving multiple people. Court records and charges connect Anthony Nash and John Anthony Scharringhausen to a series of violent incidents; Nash was charged in Salazar’s murder and ultimately accepted a 20-year prison plea covering his role in the deaths of both Anthony Sanks and Andrew Salazar. Scharringhausen previously pleaded no contest in the separate Sanks case and received a 40-year sentence.

The case narrative links Salazar’s killing to retaliation and a complex web of criminal activity that included an earlier plot targeting him. Does anyone have information about Andrew’s life in San Antonio or remembers the June 2019 drive-by that might shed light on what led to his death?
