Octavion KreSean Tayy Hoskins was fatally shot on his 28th birthday, January 6, 2023, at about 7:30 p.m. near the Broadstone Apartments on Medical Drive in San Antonio, Texas. Officers found Hoskins deceased at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds; a man who had been with him was critically injured and taken to University Hospital.

Investigators believe the shooting may have been linked to a robbery. Hoskins’ father, Oscar Hampton, said his son had accompanied a friend to sell a PlayStation console because the friend did not want to go alone. Witness and victim accounts differ; the surviving victim gave varying statements, including one version that both men were robbed and then shot. The suspects reportedly fled in another vehicle. No arrests have been announced and the San Antonio Police Department asks anyone with information to contact the homicide unit at 210-207-7635.

Hoskins’ family, who live in Michigan, are seeking justice and have started a GoFundMe to bring his body home for burial. Does anyone have information about the transaction or the vehicle seen fleeing the scene?
