SAN ANTONIO – A 15-year-old boy walking with friends was killed -- an apparent victim of a random act of violence.
Carlos De La Cruz was using the overhead crosswalk on I-10 near Alametos and Neer Street on Jan. 31, 1993.
"A small two-door vehicle drove by on the access road and stopped," police said. "Someone got out of the vehicle and shot twice, with the second shot hitting De La Cruz."
