SAN ANTONIO — A new mural north of downtown San Antonio honors 19-year-old Camila Mendoza Olmos, a missing woman whose body was found after a massive search by law enforcement and the community,

Her body was found six days later on a property not far from her home. The Medical Examiner has ruled her death as a suicide.
A memorial was held in her honor over the weekend and her death has prompted a conversation around mental health and renewed calls for better services.
San Antonio artist Colton Valentine painted the mural in her honor at a building at the intersection of San Pedro and Cypress, just north of downtown.
