Nearly four months after the tragic loss of 29-year-old Edward Trejo, his family continues to seek justice—while his memory lives on in powerful ways through the Our Lady of the Lake University community.
Trejo was killed in December following a confrontation that escalated from a noise complaint on San Antonio’s West Side. While an arrest was initially made, a grand jury later declined to move forward with charges, leaving his family searching for answers and accountability.
In the face of this heartbreak, something remarkable has emerged: unwavering support.
At OLLU, where Trejo’s sister, Ananna Trejo, is a student-athlete on the softball team, teammates, coaches, and the broader university community have come together in solidarity. What could have remained a private grief has instead become a shared commitment—to uplift, to support, and to ensure that Edward’s life is not forgotten.

Described by loved ones as someone who “had a big heart” and always showed up for others, Trejo’s legacy is now reflected in the very spirit of the team that surrounds his sister. Whether through moments of silence, visible tributes on the field, or simply showing up for one another day after day, the OLLU community has turned pain into purpose.
This story is not only about loss—it is about resilience. It is about a university living its mission of compassion and service. And it is about the enduring power of community to carry one another forward, even in the most difficult moments.
While justice has yet to be served, Edward Trejo’s name continues to echo—not only in calls for accountability, but in every act of support, unity, and love shown by those who refuse to let his story fade.
