On the evening of October 24, 2023, 54-year-old Gabriel Campos Gonzales was shot and later died at a hospital after trying to break up a disturbance at a family cookout in the 200 block of Moraima Street on San Antonio’s West Side. The altercation began when a carload of teenagers arrived and fought with two teenage girls at the gathering; Gonzales intervened and was struck by multiple gunshots to the torso. Shell casings left in the street indicated more than half a dozen rounds were fired. Early reports mentioned a possible stabbing, but later police updates described the incident primarily as a shooting.

San Antonio police recovered video showing the shooting suspect, believed to be male, and were questioning people connected to the victim while reviewing footage. No arrests had been announced by the following morning. The incident is said to have grown out of an ongoing feud between two groups. If anyone on the West Side that night saw the confrontation or has information about the shooter, contact San Antonio police.
