Samantha Miranda, 23, of New Braunfels, Texas, was shot multiple times and found dead on May 21, 2015, in the 900 block of I-35 South, near her home. She had been out for a walk that evening, something her family says she often did to clear her head.
Samantha is described as loving, independent, and adventurous; she enjoyed the outdoors and swimming and was close to her two sons, Elijah Sanchez and Julian Gage Vasquez. On December 3, 2019, two men — Joseph Austin Jr., 23, and De Hieu Nguyen, 41, both from Louisiana — were arrested and charged with capital murder; officers identified Austin as the shooter and Nguyen as the getaway driver.
The Miranda family said learning who was responsible brought some closure, though the loss remains deep.Does anyone have memories of Samantha or information about that area on the night of May 21, 2015?
