On June 3, 2023, 18-year-old Geremiah Hardeman was fatally shot at the Antioch Village Apartments in San Antonio, Texas, during a midday exchange of gunfire in the complex’s central parking lot. According to reports, a vehicle carrying multiple people arrived waiting for a specific target; when that person appeared, occupants of the first vehicle exited with rifles and opened fire. Associates of the intended target arrived in a second vehicle and a gunfight ensued. Hardeman was not the intended target and was pronounced dead at the scene; two others were critically injured and taken to hospital.

The shooting sparked immediate tension at the scene as family members tried to enter the crime scene; a 32-year-old woman was arrested after punching an officer. Media on-site were also shoved and punched. Police Chief William McManus described the incident as a targeted attack and said Hardeman was an unintended casualty. No suspects have been identified and no arrests have been announced; investigators are asking anyone with information to come forward.

Hardeman had just graduated from the George Gervin Academy on May 27, 2023; school officials expressed sorrow and noted his aspirations and the support he received. Does anyone in the community have information about this shooting or knew Geremiah and his activities in the area?
