Hezekiah Jaeden Williams, 19, was shot in the head on January 5, 2019, in San Antonio’s 7800 block of Mesquite Farm while dropping off two teenage girls at about 8:30 p.m. Several gunshots rang out as the girls were exiting the vehicle; Williams was mortally wounded and was taken to a nearby hospital where he died about 18 hours later.

Officers recovered multiple shell casings at the scene. Ten days after the shooting, on January 15, 2019, 18-year-old Devon Slaughter surrendered to police and was arrested on suspicion of murder and deadly conduct with a firearm after witnesses identified him. An arrest affidavit says witnesses saw Slaughter firing from the back seat of a car while another man drove; the affidavit did not explain a motive and investigators continued the inquiry.

Family and community members memorialized Williams online, describing him as adored and kind. If anyone was in the Mesquite Farm area that evening or has information about the shooting, can you share what you know with investigators?
