The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office continues to work to identify all the victims. There have been 30 potential identifications made, according to the county.
Four victims are unidentified at this time.
The ME’s office said it would release additional information based on conclusively identified cases. The county says it is refraining from releasing more detailed data out of respect for the grieving, as it is unaware if the victims’ families have been notified.
The ME’s office expects to publish a new update by Tuesday, July 5, according to officials.
