At a quiet gravesite on the West Side, the family of 33-year-old Ana Alicia Ojeda gathered this week with a message they say they are tired of repeating: someone knows what happened inside her Luckey Ranch home, and they want answers.
Ojeda was found dead inside her house in the 11000 block of Davalos Lane on March 29, 2024. The Bexar County Medical Examiner later ruled her death a homicide caused by sharp-force injuries to the upper body. Two years on, relatives say they have seen few public updates on the case and are pleading with neighbors and officials to come forward with anything that might help.
Family Marks Two-Year Anniversary
Relatives held a small memorial at Ojeda’s grave and renewed their public appeals for information, saying she was the emotional center of the family. “Ana was a light in the family and was very special,” family members told KENS5. They say they still do not have clear answers about who was in the house the night she died and hope renewed coverage will shake loose new leads.
How She Was Found And The BCSO Response
According to deputies, a friend who had not heard from Ojeda grew worried, called 911 and went to check on her, discovering the front door unlocked and Ojeda unresponsive on the floor, the Express-News reported. The Bexar County Medical Examiner told Express-News that she died of sharp-force injuries to the upper torso and that her death was ruled a homicide. BCSO homicide investigators opened an inquiry and asked the public to share any surveillance footage or tips that might help move the case forward.
Questions About The Probe
Family members told Univision they were informed that the lead detective on the case had been suspended and that the investigation had been reassigned to another investigator. They say the change left them feeling as if progress they had been promised was suddenly put on hold. The Sheriff’s Office told Univision the investigation remains active but declined to share further details.
What Authorities Are Asking
BCSO homicide investigators are again asking anyone with information or nearby surveillance footage from the time of the killing to contact them, as reported by KSAT. Deputies said the friend who found Ojeda had become concerned after not hearing from her for more than a day. Authorities have not publicly announced any arrests connected to the case.
Why This Matters
Local reporting and advocacy groups say domestic-violence-related deaths made up a significant portion of Bexar County’s homicide toll in 2024, intensifying calls for stronger outreach, prevention and follow-through on investigations, according to the San Antonio Report. County leaders have expanded services for survivors in recent years, but advocates say there are still gaps in reporting and support. For Ojeda’s relatives, those broader trends only heighten their demand for answers in her case…
