Devin Lavalais, 27, was killed in a shooting at a house party on the East Side of San Antonio on Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 2024. Friends and family described him as goofy, outgoing and a real stand up dude. He and several acquaintances had been gathered at a home in the 600 block of Potomac Street since the previous day when one of the men, 20-year-old Michael Moore, pulled out a gun as he was leaving and opened fire. Four people were struck; Devin and 24-year-old La Vontay La Maurea Drummer-Simms were found dead inside the home, and two others were wounded and taken to hospital.

San Antonio Police located Moore a few blocks away and say he admitted to being the shooter. Authorities confirmed the people involved all knew one another; no motive has been publicly released. If anyone was at the gathering or knew Devin and the others, can you share what you remember about that night?
