SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police and Crime Stoppers continue to look for the person responsible for the 2019 slaying of a 19-year-old former Madison High School football player on the city’s Northeast Side.
According to police, on Dec. 30, 2019, Aydin Hoffman, a freshman at West Texas A&M University, was fatally shot while at the Echo Apartments in the 13600 block of O’Connor Road.
