SAN ANTONIO – A search for a hit-and-run driver continues four years after a beloved teacher was killed back in 2015.
In the early morning hours of Aug. 7, 2015, 38-year-old Vanessa Puente and a friend were walking along Silver Maple Street, just off Potranco Road in far west Bexar County.

Just after 1:30 a.m. a dark-colored SUV struck Puente and drove off.
Deputies arrived to find Puente on the ground, and she was taken to University Hospital where she later died.
Days after her death, Puente's family and friends passed out fliers and talked to residents in west Bexar County trying to find out any information.
