On Sunday, February 15, 2026, the San Antonio community was devastated by the loss of 14-year-old Isaias Trevino, a boy remembered by those who knew him as a good kid, sweet and well-mannered, who was shot and killed during an altercation with an unknown suspect on the city’s Northeast Side.
The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office officially identified the teenager, whose life was cut short in a senseless act of violence that has left his family and church community reeling. Isaias was actively involved in his church as a choir singer and catechist, preparing for his Catholic confirmation, and was known for his dedication to his faith and his close bond with his mother.
According to the San Antonio Police Department, officers were dispatched to the 4700 block of Georges Farms near North Foster Road at approximately 7:51 p.m. following reports of a shooting. Preliminary information released by police indicates that Isaias and a friend were walking down the street, having spent much of the afternoon riding scooters together, when they reportedly got into an argument with a complete stranger. The dispute quickly escalated into a physical altercation, during which the suspect pulled out a handgun and shot the teen in his upper body near the chest area.
The suspect fled the scene immediately after the shooting and has yet to be found, despite an extensive search by SAPD officers and Eagle helicopter support in the surrounding area. The 14-year-old was rushed to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead from his injuries. The San Antonio Police Department has not yet released a description of the suspect, and the investigation remains ongoing.
Isaias’s mother had been waiting for him at a nearby park, expecting him to meet her after his afternoon of riding scooters with his friend. As the hour grew later, she called his cell phone, wondering what was taking him so long, but he didn’t answer. It wasn’t until she saw the police vehicles and the ambulance that the truth began to sink in, transforming a mother’s concern into unimaginable grief. Isaias was known as someone who helped his neighbors and was exceptionally close with his mother, making his violent death all the more devastating for his family.
Members of his church remember Isaias as deeply involved in his faith community, serving as part of the teenagers’ group and helping to collect money for the church. His participation in the choir and his preparation for Catholic confirmation reflected a young person committed to his spiritual life and community. The news of his death has sent shockwaves through his congregation and the broader Northeast Side community, where residents are grappling with the reality that a 14-year-old could be shot and killed while walking with a friend on a Sunday evening.
