BEXAR COUNTY, Texas – A family is grieving the loss of their loved one.
San Antonio police said Enrique Alvarado, 33, was driving at a high rate of speed before failing to turn on a curve, losing control and being redirected into a grassy embankment. He was pronounced dead just after 2:30 a.m. on Friday, according to the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office. No other vehicles were involved.
Family and friends of Alvarado held a candlelight vigil on Saturday night near West Loop 1604 North and State Highway 151 in his honor.
Among the attendees were members of the Anti-Bully Gang, a San Antonio-based group where Alvarado served as a member.
The group’s mission is to prevent bullying among children and support child victims of bullying. KSAT profiled the Anti-Bully Gang back in May.
Despite the medical examiner’s office informing them that he died in a crash as a result of blunt force injuries, Alvarado’s family believes he was killed.
Knowing the type of person Alvarado was, his loved ones said how he died didn’t make sense.
Alvarado leaves behind three children.
