LEON VALLEY, Texas – The San Antonio Police Department and Crime Stoppers want the public’s assistance in tracking down the person or persons responsible for the slaying of a 17-year-old in a possible road rage incident.

According to police, on April 19, 2021, Erick Torres was shot and killed while traveling in the 7200 block of Huebner Road in Leon Valley.
