On the evening of August 5, 2026, 11-year-old Maliki Perales and his 20-year-old brother, Dravyn Quiroz, were shot while sitting in a vehicle backing out of their driveway on Acadian Drive on the far West Side of San Antonio. A neighbor identified as 40-year-old Daniel Antonio Perez emerged from his home and fired at the brothers around 7:30 p.m., striking both in the upper bodies. Maliki later died that evening; the Bexar County Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds to the head and torso. Dravyn died the following morning.

Family members reportedly tried to restrain Perez before he began shooting. Two other siblings, a 14-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl, were nearby and were fired at but were not hit. Perez fled on foot, later called 911 admitting the shooting, and was located about a quarter-mile away hiding in a backyard; the handgun allegedly used was recovered from a drainage culvert. Perez was booked into the Bexar County jail and charged with two counts of capital murder. Investigators reported Perez may have been experiencing a mental health crisis and had a history of depression and seeing things that were not there. The Perales family said they had lived in the home for over two years and had no prior interactions with Perez.

Does anyone in the neighborhood remember signs of a dispute or any unusual behavior from that evening that could help clarify what happened?
