Family members of man killed in Five Points area speak out

The family of Eloy Hernandez is mourning after he was shot to death. Police hope witnesses recognize a man in surveillance footage.

SAN ANTONIO — SAPD is releasing new surveillance video in hopes of someone identifying the suspect who shot and killed a man Wednesday.

Police responded around 8:52 p.m. to the 800 block of W Laurel after a witness reported a shooting.

They found 35-year-old Eloy Hernandez with a gunshot wound. He was able to tell officers that he had been walking down the street when he got into an argument with two men in the middle of the road. One of the men pulled out a weapon and shot him.

Despite an extensive search of the area, no suspects were found and no arrests have yet been made.

KENS 5 spoke with Eloy's sister Nancy. She didn't want to appear on camera, and told us in Spanish the family is heartbroken. She said the last few days have been difficult.

She said her brother worked in construction and kept to himself. She said he was a father of two and most of the family lives in Mexico.

She said regardless of what happened, one thing is true her loved one will never come back.

"Nadie tiene la dercha a quitar la vida a nadien, she said. "Solamente dios sabe."

Saturday, police released new video that shows two men arguing in the street. Take a look at the full video below:

Police also released a photo of Hernandez Saturday.
