Samuel Almanza, a 19-year-old Hispanic man from San Antonio, Texas, was shot and killed at his home in the 3800 block of Salty Marsh on December 11, 2018. Multiple rounds were fired at the residence in what investigators describe as an apparent drive-by shooting; Samuel was critically wounded, taken to University Hospital, and later pronounced dead.

The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office investigated and concluded Samuel may have been targeted. Neighbors told investigators shots had been fired at that location several times in the days before the fatal attack. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved. Samuel is remembered by his family as a loving son and a devoted father to two young daughters; his mother, Rosio Castro, has spoken publicly about her grief and the family’s need for answers.

Anyone who knew Samuel or who has information about the shootings at the Salty Marsh address is asked to contact the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office.
