Alek Pacheco Remembered One Year Later | Austin News

One year after 20-year-old Alek Pacheco was fatally caught in crossfire during a San Marcos shooting, his family remains devastated but hopeful for justice. Alek, an innocent bystander and recent high school grad working at Schlitterbahn, was struck by gunfire near San Antonio and Guadalupe Streets — footage shows him fleeing as shots rang out, strengthening the family’s belief in a strong prosecutorial case. Two men, Jeremiah Tobias and Avery Bowman Jr., face capital murder charges, with court dates set for July 27 and 28. As holidays and birthdays grow harder without him, the family honors Alek’s memory, acknowledging forgiveness is vital — but healing will take time as the legal process continues.
