The San Antonio Police Department is on the lookout for a person of interest linked to a three-year-old homicide case at a Northeast Side apartment complex, the search, reinvigorated by the persistence of time and the hope for closure, a call to the community's conscience to step forth with any semblance of a lead. According to KSAT, on July 1, 2021, police officers responded to a shooting in progress at Alamo Estates Apartments, where they discovered Raymond “Ray” Sneed, the fabric of his life abruptly torn by fatal gunshots in his own abode.
Witness testimonies provided to the police painted the picture of a woman departing from the scene in question, though the sands of time have yet to erode into a clear image of her identity or the traces of her vehicle, the SAPD continues to canvass for any information that might lead to the responsible party, the case never quite dormant, always lingering in the pause of justice. Crime Stoppers has stepped in, offering up to $5,000 for information that could bring the perpetrator to justice.
Information tipsters, who may prefer the veil of anonymity, can contribute leads by calling Crime Stoppers at 210-224-STOP—alternatively, texting “Tip 127 plus your tip” to CRIMES (274637) offers a digital path, or for those vested in modernity, the P3 Tips app provides yet another avenue to see that justice might not be evaded in the veil of forgetting. The San Antonio community stands as a witness to the tragedy of Raymond Sneed, a local man whose story ended prematurely, unexpectedly, in the walls that should have been his sanctuary.
