SAN ANTONIO – It was a brazen, cold-blooded crime. Two adults and three of their children were shot and killed by gunmen who fired 30 shots into their townhouse in northeast Bexar County. A four-year-old girl was killed; The other family members were critically injured.

Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar believes the gunmen knew who they were targeting and wanted to cause “maximum damage.”

What happened

Around 7:40 p.m. Wednesday, a gray car – believed to be an Infinity Q50 – drove up Windsor Oaks and stopped just past the intersection of Windsor Hollow Drive. Two men got out of the vehicle, ran to a townhouse at 6706 Windsor Hollow Drive and fired nearly 30 shots into the house before running back to their car and driving away toward Walzem Road.

Multiple home surveillance cameras captured the shooting. Much of what investigators know about the incident comes from the videos. The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office released the video and photo stills in hopes of identifying the suspects.

The townhouse is located just outside the city limits of San Antonio in northeast Bexar County. Salazar said the crime was not accidental; The house was targeted.

“They were absolutely intent on taking lives,” Salazar said.

The men appeared to be in their 20s, Salazar said.

Both shooters were wearing balaclavas and at least one was wearing tactical gear.

Investigators believe that both were carrying Draco AK-47 weapons and fired 30 7.62 caliber rounds. Salazar said the bullet caused a “devastating wound.”

Salazar said there may have been others waiting in the vehicle.

On Friday, Salazar said they found a vehicle that matched the car driven by the shooters. It was found near Alamo Ranch by an off-duty police officer who was walking his dog. The car was reported stolen from Converse a few days ago.
