Andres Delgado IV

Age 14

San Antonio, Texas

Adored the Avengers, school, and jokes

He “loved his father and sister with all his heart” and was cherished by grandparents, aunts and uncles. 

Known as “Baby Andy,” he adored the Avengers, school and joking around.

After it happened, police found handguns, an AR-15 rifle and a shotgun in his home. But his father said Andy was safe: “I would never hurt my children, They are all I have.” 

On March 14, 2018, 14-year-old Andres Delgado, IV, was allegedly shot by his father while in bed in San Antonio, Texas. He died an hour later. His father said someone had tried to break into the house.
