Rodolfo Mendiola IV, a 22-year-old Hispanic computer engineering student at the University of Texas at San Antonio, was murdered on July 3, 2016, in San Antonio. Known as Rudy, he was found dead at his father’s house on Trawalter Road after having been shot in the head and beaten. His father’s truck was found abandoned on the railroad tracks along Luckey Road nearby.

Investigators reported Rudy had spent time the night before with 20-year-old Jonathan Moreno and a woman. Items stolen from Rudy’s home — electronics, jewelry, and guns — were recovered and, according to the investigation, Moreno planned to pawn them. Moreno was arrested in July 2016 and later pleaded guilty to Rudy’s murder and received a life sentence. The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office followed several public leads during the investigation.

Rudy’s family described him as compassionate and protective of others; his death devastated them. Does anyone have information about Rudy’s life, routines, or who he spent time with that could shed more light on the case?
