Candlelight Vigil Held for Missing Baby Ozana in San Antonio

What Happened in San Antonio?

On the South Side of San Antonio, a sad and serious event took place. A candlelight vigil (a quiet gathering where people hold candles to show support and hope) was held for a missing baby named Ozana Cisneros, who is only 7 months old.

Authorities found skeletal remains (bones left after a body has been in a place for a long time) while searching for her at Concepcion Park. They have not said if those remains are Ozana.

Who Came to the Vigil?

On Tuesday night, family members, friends, and supporters met at the park to pray for Ozana’s safe return.

• Rose Menchaca, a friend of Ozana’s grandmother, went to the vigil.
• She remembered meeting Ozana when the baby was just 3 days old.
• Menchaca said: "My heart just sunk into her. I fell in love with her. She’s just a baby. I’m just praying that wherever she is that she’s not out in this heat."

Timeline of the Search

Here is what we know step by step:

1. June 10: Ozana was last seen at a home on Roosevelt Avenue.
2. Friday (before the vigil): Police found Ozana’s mother, Maximine Cisneros, at a home on Parkview Drive, but the baby was not with her.
3. Friday: Isaiah Lopez, the mother’s boyfriend, was taken into custody (arrested) by San Antonio Police. He tried to run away from officers and was also wanted for an old warrant (a legal order to arrest someone). Police found a gun on him, so he was charged with that too.
4. Monday: San Antonio police canceled the AMBER Alert (an urgent public alert for a missing child), but said Ozana is still missing and the search continues.
5. Tuesday night: The candlelight vigil was held at Concepcion Park, where skeletal remains were found during the search.

Important: Police have not confirmed the skeletal remains are Ozana. No arrests have been announced for Ozana’s disappearance itself. Lopez is in custody for other reasons, not directly confirmed as linked to her vanishing.

Where Things Stand Now

• Ozana is still officially missing.
• Investigators are still looking for her.
