Julio Pacheco was 23 when he was found dead on October 2, 2008, in southeast San Antonio. Police confirmed his death was a homicide after officers responded to reports of gunfire and an apparently abandoned vehicle in a residential area. Pacheco was discovered inside that vehicle with gunshot wounds.

Investigators say the attack appeared to be targeted and possibly premeditated; neighbors reported hearing several shots late at night. Specific suspects and motives have not been released, and despite efforts by the San Antonio Police Department the case went cold. The circumstances remain unresolved and the family and police are seeking new information.

If anyone remembers activity in that neighborhood on the night of October 2, 2008, or has information about Julio Pacheco’s death, please come forward to assist the investigation.
