Sean Cannon<\/a> was 29 when he was shot and killed on Oct. 25, 2013, while visiting a friend who was preparing to move out of town, his mother said.\u00a0<\/p>\nThe shooting happened around 1:30 a.m. near the intersection of Aganier Avenue and West Olmos Street, close to Edison High School. The case remains unsolved.<\/p>\n
\u201cI cannot stop speaking my son\u2019s name, and I cannot stop seeking and asking for the public\u2019s help,\u201d Josefina Cannon said.<\/p>\n
According to Cannon, she received a call after the shooting telling her to go to the hospital. There, she learned her son had died.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was quite devastated,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t remember. I still have amnesia with that particular day.\u201d<\/p>\n
She described Sean as kind, noble and free-spirited\u2014someone who loved to make people laugh and enjoyed being around others.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe just enjoyed being around people and having people around him,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Sean\u2019s death, Cannon said, reshaped her life. Where she once planned birthdays and holidays, she now faces daily reminders of loss.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s no longer with us in body, but he\u2019s here in my mind, in his spirit,\u201d she said. \u201cWe continue to hold him close to our hearts, and we continue to love him.\u201d<\/p>\n
The lack of closure has compounded her grief. Cannon said investigators have identified suspects, but they still need someone to come forward with information to move the case forward.<\/p>\n
Not knowing what happened, she said, has been gut-wrenching. While justice would not bring her son back, she said it would offer some peace.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is the only hope that I have: that someone, somewhere, will touch their heart and come forward and give the information that\u2019s needed so that this case can be solved,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
San Antonio police urge anyone with information about Sean Cannon\u2019s killing to contact the department or Crime Stoppers. Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest, and tips can be provided anonymously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cThat is the only hope that I have, that someone somewhere will touch their heart and come forward.”…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":474325,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5133],"tags":[5229,7202,7203,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-474324","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-san-antonio","10":"tag-sanantonio","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-tx","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115789824292655859","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/474324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=474324"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/474324\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/474325"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=474324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=474324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=474324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
