Lauren Vasquez, 26, was fatally shot on December 15, 2017, at the Silver Ridge apartment complex on San Antonio’s Northeast Side. Two 15-year-old visitors were in the apartment with Lauren and another victim, Jose Villarreal, when an argument occurred and one of the teenagers shot both victims. Lauren sustained gunshot wounds to her upper body and was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

Jose Villarreal was shot in the arm and back but survived and was expected to recover. The two teenagers fled in a stolen vehicle; police located the car after a pursuit and detained the suspects. One juvenile was charged with murder and aggravated assault; the other was charged with evading arrest and unauthorized use of a vehicle. Authorities have not disclosed the motive or whether the suspects knew the victims.

If anyone has information about that night at the Silver Ridge apartments or knew Lauren, please share what you know with the San Antonio Police Department.
