Justin Matthew Laravie II was 22 when he was shot in the head and killed inside his apartment at the Rosemont at Bethel Place Apartments on the West Side of San Antonio on July 29, 2019. Born June 25, 1997, in Lincoln, Nebraska, he was remembered by family and friends as funny, caring, and talented at skating and singing. His death was ruled a homicide.

A 19-year-old acquaintance of Laravie’s roommate, Marc Hernandez, was arrested and charged in connection with the shooting. Hernandez was also shot but survived and identified the accused as the shooter; the accused was later found rummaging through Laravie’s belongings. The incident was believed to be narcotics-related.

Laravie’s memorial service was held at Butherus, Maser & Love Funeral Home in Lincoln, Nebraska. Does anyone have information about Laravie’s life in San Antonio or about the events that night?
