Nearly two months after a teenage girl was fatally shot following a chaotic party in Atascosa, the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office has announced they are seeking an 18-year-old man for her murder.
Deshawn Suggs, 18, is wanted in connection with the death of 17-year-old Alianna Ujueta, who was killed on September 28. Authorities officially announced Suggs as the suspect on Thursday.
The incident occurred in the early morning hours of September 28 at a home on the 13000 block of Luckey Road. According to the sheriff’s office, a party was underway when a fight erupted and spilled into the street just before 2 a.m.
“Gunfire erupted,” authorities stated. When deputies arrived on the scene, they found Ujueta lying in the street with a fatal gunshot wound to the head. A witness at the scene reportedly told San Antonio-based ABC affiliate KSAT that a dark pickup truck drove over the victim before fleeing the area.

Investigators recovered several items from the scene, including articles of clothing, jewelry, and spent shell casings, according to the San Antonio Express-News. However, the authorities have not publicly disclosed the evidence or methods that led them to identify Suggs as the suspected killer.
Suggs faces multiple charges from prior incidents, according to local reports. Just a week before Ujueta’s shooting, Suggs was charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon stemming from a September 19 incident. He also faces older charges, including burglary, robbery, and making a terroristic threat from a February case.
The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office is urging anyone with information on Deshawn Suggs’ whereabouts to contact law enforcement immediately. He is considered armed and dangerous.
