Desmond Evans II, 19, was killed on the afternoon of December 15, 2025, at an apartment at Tigoni Villas on San Antonio’s Northwest Side.

He was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries and later died.

San Antonio police describe the shooting as initially appearing accidental and interviewed those present to clarify how the discharge occurred. No arrests or charges had been announced in the days after the death and the investigation remained open. Evans was originally from Gulfport, Mississippi; services were scheduled in San Antonio with visitation and funeral planned at a local church.
