Justin Troy Valle, 30, was fatally shot on the evening of February 8, 2023 outside the Northwest Food Mart in the 2300 block of Northwest Military Highway in San Antonio. Police say the shooting happened about 10:20 p.m. after an argument with another man escalated and the assailant drew a firearm and fired multiple times. Valle was found unresponsive, taken to University Hospital, and later pronounced dead; the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed his identity.

Investigators obtained an address for a potential suspect and detained that person for questioning, but as of February 10, 2023 no arrests had been made. The motive for the argument and shooting remains unclear. Family members, including his younger siblings Branden and Alexis, described Justin as funny, loving, caring, and interested in becoming a real estate agent. A celebration of life was held February 19, 2023 at M.E. Rodriguez Funeral Home.

If anyone has information that could help the investigation or bring Justin’s family closure, please share what you know with San Antonio police.
