The San Antonio Police Department's 60 percent clearance rate on murder cases is slightly above the 2016 national average of 59 percent, according to the FBI's Uniform Crime Report.

Crime Stoppers has offered a reward for information leading to arrests in some of the unsolved murder cases, including the cases of Brandon Cornelius, Tammy Fudge and Jesus Guerra Jr.

KSAT 12 has mapped known murder cases, marking the cases that have not resulted in arrests in red and murders with arrests in green.

Those with any information about the unsolved murder cases are asked to call SAPD's homicide unit at 210-207-7635.

Editor's note: One unsolved case has not been included in the murder map as KSAT awaits clarification from police on the details of the case.
