The shooting happened at the Woodlake Villas Apartments in the 6000 block of Woodlake Parkway, not far from North Foster Road and Old Seguin Road.

According to the sheriff’s office, around 8 a.m., deputies responded to a call at a gas station after Conaway walked in and placed a pistol directly on the counter. Deputies said Conaway told them he had shot his wife in self-defense.

BCSO said they then went to the home and found the apartment door open and a woman, 32, who was unconscious on the floor with multiple gunshot wounds on her back. She was taken by ambulance to an area hospital, where she later died.

Deputies also found a 2-year-old baby boy asleep inside the apartment. The baby was not hurt in the incident.

Conaway was later arrested at the gas station where he reported the shooting, BCSO said.

The woman who was shot and killed has not yet been identified by the Bexar County Medical Examiner.

It’s unclear what sparked the shooting.
