What began as a casual scooter ride near home ended in tragedy for 14-year-old Isaías Treviño, and his family in Kirby is demanding answers. The teen was fatally shot on the evening of Feb. 15 in the Highland Farms neighborhood, not far from his house, after riding electric scooters with a friend. He was taken to a hospital, where he later died, as loved ones gathered at a local church this week to mourn while investigators continue searching for the person who pulled the trigger, as reported by Express-News.
The San Antonio Police Department says Isaías and his friend had stopped to walk around 7:50 p.m. in the 4700 block of Georges Farms when an unknown person confronted them. A physical altercation followed, and the person shot Isaías in the upper body before running off. Officers, including homicide detectives, searched the area that night and have not released a suspect description, according to Express-News.
Grief at St. Joan of Arc
At St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church, family members and parishioners packed the pews for a vigil in Isaías’ memory. He had been preparing for his confirmation and was remembered as a sweet, active teenager who loved being outdoors. “We want answers,” his aunt Belinda Treviño Saldaña said, explaining that the family is desperate for closure. The funeral is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Thursday at the church, per Express-News.
Neighbors, Detectives Search for Clues
Neighbors have turned the stretch of sidewalk where Isaías collapsed into a small memorial, leaving candles and balloons while homicide detectives fan out through the area. Investigators went door-to-door asking for home surveillance video that might help identify the shooter. Witnesses told reporters the teen had been riding an electric scooter earlier and that the attack unfolded suddenly, as detectives canvassed the Highland Farms neighborhood for any shred of evidence, KSAT reports.
Police Ask Anyone With Information To Come Forward
Authorities are urging anyone who saw the disturbance or has video from that evening to contact San Antonio police or Crime Stoppers as the investigation continues. The Bexar County Medical Examiner identified the victim as 14-year-old Isaias Trevino, and detectives have not announced any arrests in the case, according to reporting by MySA.
