Alfredo Giddens Jr., a 51-year-old African American man known locally as Big Fredo, was shot and killed while sitting in his car on the East Side of San Antonio on October 1, 2014. Witnesses reported seeing two women leave the scene in an SUV shortly after the shooting. Giddens owned a mechanic shop on New Braunfels Street and was a well-known figure in the community.

Police believe robbery was the motive; Giddens’ father, Alfredo Giddens Sr., said $850 was taken from his son before he was killed. Despite witness accounts, no one has been charged and the San Antonio Police Department has classified the case as a cold case. The family continues to press for information and the police are asking anyone with tips to contact the Cold Case Tip Line.

Did anyone in the community see or hear anything around New Braunfels Street or the East Side on October 1, 2014 that could help bring answers?
