Girl, 16, found shot dead in back seat of stolen car, police say

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police are questioning two people as witnesses in the shooting death of a juvenile in a Southwest Side neighborhood.

Officers who were answering a call about shots fired around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday found the victim, a girl, in the back seat of what they say was a stolen car.

The car was found in the 5100 block of War Horse. The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s office has identified the teen as Naveah Martinez, 16.

Officers at the scene said the shooting appeared to have stemmed from something that happened earlier at a different location.

However, they did not offer details of that incident.

It was not clear right away whether she was the intended target of the shooting.

Police said they had detained two people and planned to question them about the case.
