SAN ANTONIO – The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office is searching for multiple suspects accused of shooting a homeowner and burglarizing vehicles in a far West Side neighborhood.
Deputies said on Tuesday, from 3:30 a.m. to 5 a.m., the suspects were caught on video attempting to burglarize vehicles.
In the first incident on Shooter Cove, Sheriff Javier Salazar said the suspects stole a white 2017 Lexus with Texas license plate JBG-9307. The vehicle was allegedly unlocked with the keys inside.
The suspects were seen trying to open car doors on another street in the same subdivision. One of the suspects was carrying a pistol in his hand, Salazar said.
When the suspects attempted to burglarize a vehicle on Creager Canyon, Salazar said an unarmed homeowner came outside to confront them. The homeowner ended up being shot when the suspects fled the scene inside the stolen white Lexus.
Salazar said some of the victim’s family members were being shot at when the suspects opened fire.
The homeowner was taken by ambulance to an area hospital, where he is expected to recover, BCSO said.
BCSO says to contact 210-335-6000 with any relevant information in this case.
