Marzelina Torres, 62, of San Antonio, Texas, was fatally shot on November 7, 2018, after a long-running dispute with her neighbor Juan Jose Vasquez, 64. Neighbors and witnesses say the feud had been ongoing for several months to a year. On the day of the shooting Torres and another person were leaving her driveway and, according to witness reports, Vasquez pointed a handgun at the occupants of an SUV and then opened fire.

Deputies arrived and Vasquez surrendered without incident; he was arrested and charged with murder and two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, with bail set at $300,000. Paramedics took Torres to Northeast Methodist Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead. Authorities described the dispute as escalating over time but said the specific trigger for the shooting was unclear.

The community mourned Torres’s death and officials continued gathering evidence and witness statements as the case proceeded. Did anyone in the neighborhood see or hear signs of the dispute before November 7 that could help investigators?
