Samantha Ivonne Ibarra was 24 when she was killed in San Angelo, Texas, on November 20, 2023. The shooting took place in the 5900 block of Willeke Drive; Samantha suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and was taken to Shannon Medical Center, where she died. Born January 14, 1999, in Del Rio, she worked as a caregiver and Direct Support Professional at the San Angelo State Supported Living Center and was a mother to two sons, Jesse and Javier.

Authorities arrested her brother, 23-year-old former Marine Benjamin Isais Ibarra, and charged him with manslaughter. Investigators say Benjamin was conducting a mock clearing of the residence with an AR-15 rifle, believed the weapon was unloaded, and discharged a round that struck Samantha. Witnesses reported the rifle had no magazine and that the discharged round was unaccounted for in the chamber.
