Jarvis Dwayne Slack, 30, was shot to death on July 6, 2017, on Laura Jean Street on San Antonio’s East Side. Police found him with two gunshot wounds to the chest; a large amount of marijuana and a scale near his body led investigators to note signs of a drug deal at the scene.

Investigators identified Austin Gustavo Mendoza as the suspect. According to the arrest affidavit, Mendoza went to Slack’s home to rob him for Hydro marijuana, shot Slack, later told a friend about the crime, and melted down the weapon used. Clothing items linked to Mendoza were recovered at the friend’s house and were included in the case file.

Slack was survived by his wife, Davion Slack, and their children. The family and community continue to feel the impact of his loss. If anyone knew Jarvis Slack, his movements that day, or has information about the shooting, please share what you know.
