David Escobedo, 51, was fatally shot during a violent home invasion at his San Antonio apartment in the early hours of October 17, 2018. According to police, suspects forced entry to the unit in the 6200 block of Old Pearsall Road after seeing images of guns, money and narcotics on social media and believing such items were inside.

Reports say the intruders—faces covered and armed with an assault rifle, a snub-nosed revolver and a handgun—abducted a 23-year-old man at gunpoint and forced him to lead them to the apartment. A physical struggle followed; Escobedo was shot in the back while lying on the ground and died. Another resident, John Escobedo, was shot but survived after jumping from a balcony. Two suspects, Jose Sanchez, 30, and Fidencio Badillo, 57, were identified and arrested; a third, Henry Lozano, 29, remained at large.

The investigation ties the assault to gang activity and an apparent botched robbery. If anyone knew David or has information about Henry Lozano’s whereabouts, please share what can help the ongoing inquiry.
