The unresolved case of Erick Torres's fatal shooting continues to haunt Leon Valley as Crime Stoppers tirelessly seeks public assistance even four years after the incident. On April 19, 2021, around 11 p.m., Torres was shot and killed in what is believed to be a road rage incident. As reported by KSAT, he was riding in a red Ford Taurus on the 7200 block of Huebner Road when a medium to dark-colored SUV pulled alongside and opened fire, hitting Torres and another occupant.
Authorities speculate that another red sedan, similar to the Ford Taurus, may have been involved in a prior altercation with the SUV. In a continued effort to bring justice to the case, photos of the suspect vehicle have been disseminated, with the hope that these images might lead to valuable tips, according to Fox San Antonio.
Crime Stoppers is appealing to anyone with information about this brutal slaying to step forward. They emphasize that tipsters can communicate anonymously via phone by calling 210-224-7867 (STOP), by text message by sending "Tip 127 plus your tip" to CRIMES (274637), through the P3 Tips app, or directly on their website. Insights leading to an arrest may be rewarded, with Crime Stoppers offering up to $5,000 for information that resolves in felony arrests.
