Fifteen-year-old Allen Rafael German Cuellar was fatally shot on February 14, 2025, on the East Side of San Antonio behind the Master Ranch Apartments. He had been walking with others to a store that night; his mother, Jennifer Cuellar, said he was supposed to be at a sleepover. Authorities say Allen suffered a single gunshot wound to the torso and was found behind an apartment building; shell casings were recovered but no firearm. The Bexar County Medical Examiner confirmed the cause of death as a gunshot wound to the torso.

Responding units arrived about 10:43 p.m. on February 14. The San Antonio Police Department is treating the incident as a homicide; no suspect has been identified and the motive remains unknown. Allen played soccer, football and basketball, and his family held a visitation at Castillo Funeral Home and set up a GoFundMe to assist with funeral expenses.
