Joseph Rene Macias was 19 when he was fatally shot on August 7, 2016, in the 6500 block of Tahoka Boulevard in San Antonio, Texas. The shooting occurred during a drug transaction arranged over Snapchat; Macias and two other teens were meeting with 18-year-old Eric Cavazos, who had posed as a buyer for marijuana. When the deal went wrong, Cavazos opened fire, killing Macias and critically injuring the two other teens.

Cavazos fled on foot but was later located on a Greyhound bus headed for Los Angeles and arrested on a murder warrant in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He also faced aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charges for the injuries to the other teens. Investigators reported that Cavazos had been messaging the teens for about an hour and a half before the meeting and that 911 calls were placed three minutes after the shooting.

Did anyone in San Antonio at the time see activity in the 6500 block of Tahoka Boulevard, or does anyone have information about the Snapchat contacts involved?
