Overview

  • Relatives reported Aryana Trevino Martinez missing from the 4700 block of Allegheny Drive on Sunday evening and the Texas Department of Public Safety issued a statewide AMBER Alert to help find her.
  • Investigators say neighborhood surveillance video captured Aryana walking alone down an alley toward a nearby creek, and detectives are going door to door seeking additional camera footage to clarify her final movements.
  • A neighbor, Uriel Ramirez, located Aryana unresponsive in an overgrown, water-filled creek and first responders performed CPR before she was pronounced dead shortly after 12:10 a.m. Monday.
  • The San Antonio Police Department and the Bexar County Medical Examiner describe the case as an active investigation; no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified and the autopsy is pending.
  • The neighborhood has held vigils and organized financial and emotional support for the family, and officials say the next public updates will depend on investigative findings and the medical examiner’s report.
