Xavier Joseph Cordero Jr. was 20 when he was murdered on June 18, 2014, in Bexar County, Texas. A 2011 graduate of Earl Warren High School and a member of St. Luke’s Catholic Church, he lived with his grandmother and worked at a clothing retail shop in San Antonio. Family and friends remembered him for his humor, kindness, and love of basketball.

Investigators say Xavier was lured to an apartment complex on the city’s southeast side by Antoinette Martinez, who promised sex. Martinez and an accomplice, Cameo Marcus Clines, allegedly confronted him at gunpoint, put him in the trunk of his own vehicle, drove him to a cow pasture, and shot him multiple times. His body was found June 18, 2014, near an irrigation pond in the 17200 block of Donop Road.

Both Martinez, 19, and Clines, 19, were taken into custody and charged with capital murder after each reportedly confessed to roles in the robbery and killing; each had bond set at $1 million. The crime drew attention in part because Xavier’s father worked as a San Antonio Police Department detective.

Did anyone in the community know Xavier’s movements or see his vehicle around June 18, 2014?
