Shaquille Bartholomew, a 20-year-old resident of San Antonio, Texas, was fatally shot on November 9, 2015. The incident occurred at an apartment complex in northwest San Antonio, where Shaquille was reportedly involved in an altercation. Two individuals approached and began a confrontation, which escalated quickly, resulting in a firearm being discharged.
The suspects fled the scene immediately after the shooting. Although there were reports of an attempted robbery, the exact motive for the shooting remains uncertain. Police investigations have focused on whether security measures at the apartment complex were adequate, raising questions of potential negligence on the part of the property owners. The authorities have appealed for any information from witnesses that could help solve the case.
Shaquille Bartholomew’s death remains a tragic example of the ongoing issues with violence in the area, and law enforcement continues to seek justice on his behalf. Memorial services for Shaquille were held later in November at the O.J. Carter Memorial Chapel in San Antonio.
