The family of Rene Blancas Jr., the toddler killed while sleeping in the back of his family vehicle in 2017, is devastated after a jury acquitted the suspect of capital murder.

A jury has delivered a not guilty verdict for a San Antonio man accused in the shooting death of a 3-year-old boy in November 2017.

Testimony from a relative on Thursday revealed that he saw his little cousin minutes before he was shot on the Southwest Side and thought he may have been the initial target of the shooting, not the child.

Eric Trevino is charged with the Nov. 2017 shooting death of Rene Blancas Jr. after allegedly firing a shot into the vehicle Blancas was in with his family.

A man accused of killing a three-year-old boy in 2017 will finally go to trial this week.
