The mural was completed by Rudy Rodriguez, whose childhood friend Baltasar Rodriguez Jr. died while in police custody.
The family members and friends of Baltasar Rodriguez Jr., Andre"AJ" Hernandez and Marquis Jones stand in front of the mural unveiled in Friday, Sept. 1.
“It isn’t quite finished,” Ananda Tomas, executive director of police reform group ACT 4 SA, told reporters the unveiling. “We do have the names of other victims of SAPD. We know this is not all of them. There’s only so much space on a shipping container, but it does show that there’s a problem here.”
SAPD officers apprehended Rodriguez on Sept. 1, 2021, after someone called to report a man stumbling around an East Side street. Although it was apparent that Rodriguez was experiencing a medical episode, police put him on his stomach and handcuffed him, his family members said.The mural, located at 2115 N Zarzamora St., honors those killed by police in San Antonio.
