Tragic Incident in San Antonio Apartment Complex
San Antonio has been shaken by a heartbreaking incident that took place recently at an apartment complex on the city’s North Side. In a situation that many are calling a murder-suicide, two individuals were found dead, prompting an investigation by local authorities that has left the community in shock.
What Happened?
On the morning of September 15, around 9 a.m., police officers conducted a routine welfare check at an apartment located in the 7900 block of Jones Maltsberger Road. They had received reports that raised concerns about a male suspect potentially being inside. However, upon arrival, they discovered that the man was not in the apartment they initially visited.
Officers quickly traced the suspect to another location, specifically an apartment in the 1800 block of East Sonterra Boulevard. After knocking on the door, they were met with silence, leading them to call for a SWAT unit for further assistance.
Entering the Scene
After several hours of trying to communicate with the individual inside, authorities made the difficult decision to enter the apartment. What they discovered was deeply troubling: inside, they found both the suspect and a young woman dead. The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office has since identified the suspect as Tevin Hall, a 30-year-old man, who tragically died from a gunshot wound to the head. Authorities have ruled his manner of death a suicide.
Sadly, a woman’s body was also discovered in the same apartment. As of now, authorities have not released her identity while they work to confirm the details of this tragic event. It’s also worth noting that police believe Hall shot the woman before taking his own life, although further details regarding their relationship are still under investigation.
