Mascarenas, 26, was stabbed to death on July 24 at the Terrace for Haven for Hope Apartments in the 700 block of North San Marcos.
"I saw him plunge the knife into her and when I got there she said, ‘Mom’ and I grabbed him around his neck," Barrientez said.

“I know his face. I know he had no facial hair (and) he had a black hoodie, black pants," Barrientez said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 210-224-STOP.
