Jason Huizar, 34, was shot and killed on January 1, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas, in the city’s first homicide of the year. The shooting happened off Paso Chico Alley near South Brazos Street. Family members said the killing may have followed a dispute; police reported witnesses saw another man fleeing the scene where shots originated.

Authorities later detained a man on a felony warrant but have not confirmed any arrest directly tied to Huizar’s murder. Huizar’s partner, Alexandria Mares, and his brother, Jesse Hinojosa, described him as a devoted father who loved dancing and brought joy to those around him. The family held fundraising efforts to cover burial costs and continues to press for answers.

Does anyone have information about Huizar, the location near Paso Chico Alley, or the events of January 1 that could help the investigation?
