The death of Vásquez-Carpio, 17, is a mystery to him San Antonio Police Department (SAPD, for its acronym in English) as the boy’s family had reported him missing.

Until the moment of writing this story,

according to the legal documents of the case consulted by MundoHispánico, it is only known that Vásquez-Carpio died but the authorities still do not know how.

Last Saturday, September 19, 2020, the SAPD issued an alert signal that asked the community to help find Sebastián Eduardo Vásquez-Carpio and who was missing since the previous Friday.

Authorities had reported that the boy left his home the day before and never returned.

A seemingly unrelated incident turned the investigation from a disappearance to a probable murder.

On Sunday, September 20 at 9:00 a.m., a person reported that in front of 6600 Calle Duarte, in western Bexar County, a car was on fire.

The area where the car engulfed in flames was reported is a remote semi-rural area southwest of the San Antonio metropolitan area surrounded by ranches and farms.

The firefighters arrived at the scene to put out the fire and it was when they discovered that inside, hugging themselves by the flames, was the body of a person.

When agents discovered the burned car they investigated the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and are still investigating who the car is registered to.

The firefighters then called the SAPD and the agents of the Homicide Division of the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) to investigate who could be the dead person in the car.

To avoid speculation, the SAPD and the BCSO did not reveal, until the autopsy was done, if the burned body belonged to Vásquez-Carpio.

According to a statement from the forensic authorities of the Bexar County the car was completely burned although no mechanical or electrical reason was detected as the cause of the fire.

So far the agents of the Division of Missing Persons of the SAPD, who kept the boy’s phone, have not reported if the device has any clue that allows clarifying what happened to the boy.
