On January 23, 2024, 48-year-old Lisa Ortiz was found dead inside a residence on the 5900 block of South Flores Street in San Antonio. Police had responded for a welfare check after receiving information that Ortiz had been killed by her boyfriend, 46-year-old John Garcia. Officers found her body inside the home and shortly afterward Garcia returned, rammed his vehicle into police units, exited with a shotgun, fired at officers and was shot and killed by police.

Ortiz’s daughters, Desiree Martinez and Beyoncé Ortiz, described their mother as kind, loving and the life of the party, noting her love of the Dallas Cowboys and tailgating. They said they did not know Garcia or that their mother had recently moved to his residence and are left with many unanswered questions.

The family began a GoFundMe to help with funeral costs and the community showed strong support after the killing. Does anyone have information about Lisa’s last weeks or her move to South Flores Street that could help clarify what happened?
