Juan Maldonado was 26 when he was shot and killed on October 9, 2008, while walking in a San Antonio neighborhood with a known history of violent crime. The killing happened in the eastern part of the city and remains unsolved.

The San Antonio Police Department initially struggled to identify suspects or a motive, and the case is now among SAPD’s cold files. Lack of immediate leads and limited witness cooperation have been cited as obstacles, and Crime Stoppers and SAPD continue to ask the public for tips.

Community information is described as crucial to advancing the investigation and bringing justice for Maldonado’s family. If anyone saw activity in that area on October 9, 2008, or has information about this shooting, please come forward.
