What we know about the victims of last week's deadly San Antonio flash floods

SAN ANTONIO — Several San Antonio families are grieving after deadly flash flooding led to 13 deaths in San Antonio the morning of Thursday, June 12. 

It was a day of historic rainfall in the Alamo City, which officially received 6.11 inches of rain at San Antonio International Airport–making it the city’s wettest day since May 2013. The downpours overwhelmed roadways and created dangerous conditions for commuters. 

All of those killed in the flooding have been recovered, according to the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office. We know the identities of all but one victim; the medical examiner is waiting to publicly identify them until their next of kin have been notified. 

Ten of the 13 victims died when they were stuck in traffic in the area of Perrin Beitel and Austin Highway around 5 a.m. on June 12, when floodwaters swept over a dozen cars off the roadway. Two other victims were found after separate flooding incidents. 

Here’s what we know about the victims. 

Garza’s daughter, Brittany Guerrero, told KENS 5 that officials found her father’s body Friday afternoon in the aftermath of the flash flood. He was on his way to work. 

She says her mother was on the phone with Garza when, all of sudden, he told her he saw a sea of water. He was unable to reverse out of the way. 

“They both said their ‘I love you’s,'” Guerrero said. “And she said the call faded away.”

Garza was a grandfather who cared about everyone, she added. 

Gonzalez was the mother of a 1-year-old, family members told KENS 5. She was also happily engaged and a firefighter for the U.S. Army, following in her father’s footsteps. 

She was on the phone with a coworker when she was sept away by the floodwaters. 

“She never gave up,” said her sister, Sam Gallardo. “She persevered. She was the person that anybody could depend on.” 

A verified GoFundMe raising money for funeral expenses said Castro “was a son, father, brother, nephew, cousin and loyal friend.”

“He was full of life, dreams and love for those around him,” his family wrote in the fundraiser post. “His loss has left a deep void in all of our hearts.”

Castro is one of the youngest victims identified by loved ones or county officials so far.
