Noah Hoover, a 20-year-old Hispanic man born August 11, 1999, was shot on October 6, 2019, on County Road 668 in Devine, Texas, and later died at a San Antonio hospital. He graduated from Natalia High School in 2017 and was the son of Delbert and Vangie Hoover. He is survived by his mother Vangie Vasquez Morales, father Delbert Hoover, Sr., siblings Vanessa Hoover, Delbert Hoover, Jr., and Anahi Hoover, and several nieces and a nephew.
Noah and his cousin Jesse Lee Hoover were both shot by multiple assailants; Jesse survived after surgery while Noah was airlifted and pronounced dead. Investigators arrested three suspects: Nathan Gruensteiner, Julian Maldonado, and Vincente Maldonado. Authorities identified Gruensteiner as the shooter; he was arrested after a high-speed chase, and the Maldonado brothers were found with firearms and narcotics. All three were charged with murder and faced trial.
Did anyone in Devine or Natalia know Noah’s routines or anything about disputes he might have been involved in that could help explain why he was targeted?
