Aryana Trevino Martinez, the 2-year-old girl who was the subject of a San Antonio AMBER Alert, was found unresponsive and later pronounced dead, according to San Antonio police and the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office.

The child was reported missing Sunday evening after relatives told police she had wandered away from her home on San Antonio’s Northwest Side. The case prompted an urgent search involving multiple law enforcement resources before Martinez was located near the area where she was last seen.

Shocking Discovery Ends San Antonio AMBER Alert

San Antonio police officers responded to a missing-child report around 8 p.m. Sunday in the 4700 block of Allegheny Drive, near Babcock Road. Authorities established a search quadrant and deployed multiple resources to look for Martinez.

At approximately 12:01 a.m. Monday, officers found Aryana Trevino Martinez unresponsive in a brush-covered area near the 4700 block of Allegheny Drive. An SAPD investigator at the scene told KSAT that the girl was discovered in an overgrown, water-filled creek area behind Belle Ellen.

The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office said Martinez was pronounced dead shortly after 12:10 a.m. Monday. The AMBER Alert was canceled at about 3 a.m. Monday by SAPD and the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Critical Details Remain Under Investigation

Police have not released a cause or manner of death. Those details remain under investigation as detectives work to determine exactly how Martinez ended up in the water-filled area.

According to the preliminary information shared by SAPD, Martinez was captured on video walking alone in an alley before she was found. Investigators are seeking additional surveillance footage and other video evidence to determine whether she may have been with anyone else.

Authorities have not announced any arrests or identified a suspect in connection with the child’s death. The investigation remains active, and officials are continuing to review the circumstances surrounding her disappearance and death.
