Zachary Benavidez was 23 when he was killed June 7, 2016, while working as a clerk at the Diamond Food Mart on Vance Jackson Road in San Antonio. Two suspects entered the store and demanded customers get on the ground; one of them struck Benavidez with the butt of a gun and a struggle followed that moved into the store’s back room. Benavidez was shot seven times during that altercation and another customer was shot in the leg.

Law enforcement arrested two men in connection with the robbery and shootings, and charges were brought. One of the suspects later admitted to shooting Benavidez and agreed to testify against the other. The family’s loss underscores the dangers faced by retail workers and the impact of violent crime on small communities.

Does anyone have information about that night at the Diamond Food Mart or knew Zachary?
