Gabriel Sanchez II, 19, of San Antonio was found dead with his girlfriend, 19-year-old Sanaa Keilani McNeil, in a Travelodge By Wyndham room off Interstate 35 North. A housekeeper discovered both bodies on January 17, 2023; the Bexar County Medical Examiner determined both died from multiple gunshot wounds and ruled the deaths homicides. Family remembered Gabriel, nicknamed Noono, as someone who loved to make people laugh, wrote his own raps, and loved to dance to Michael Jackson.

Surveillance footage became central to the investigation. Video showed Gabriel arriving at the hotel just after midnight on January 16 accompanied by a heavy-set man in a white Nike coat, later identified as 19-year-old Kristian Ray Belmudez. The three were captured leaving and returning to the room overnight and were filmed together at a QuikTrip around 1:30 a.m. Early on January 16, cameras recorded Belmudez leaving the room carrying two handguns and a backpack before fleeing out the back door.

Does anyone have information about Gabriel’s movements that night or recall seeing him or the other man at the hotel or QuikTrip?
