His life was tragically cut short during the early morning hours of March 6, 2026, in a fatal hit-and-run incident that has left family members, friends, and neighbors grieving a sudden and devastating loss.
According to the Alamo Police Department, officers were dispatched at approximately 3:30 a.m. to the 1300 block of West Frontage Road, near the Alamo Rec and RV Park, after reports that a pedestrian had been struck by a vehicle. When first responders arrived at the scene, they found Alemán suffering from severe injuries caused by the collision. Despite emergency efforts, he tragically died at the scene.

Those who knew him describe him as someone who served his country with pride and carried himself with dignity and kindness in his daily life.

Investigators believe the vehicle involved in the crash may be a gray or silver Nissan Rogue from model years 2020 to 2023. Authorities say the vehicle likely sustained noticeable damage to the front right bumper and may have a broken passenger-side mirror as a result of the collision. The driver failed to stop and render aid, leaving the scene immediately after the crash.
Police are urging anyone with information to come forward as the investigation continues. Residents and businesses in the area along West Frontage Road between Alamo Road and Cesar Chavez Road are being asked to review surveillance footage recorded between 3:15 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. Investigators believe security cameras in the area may have captured images of the suspect vehicle before or after the incident.
