Two people were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide on Loop 410 on the Southwest Side.
The incident was initially reported as a crash at about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday near Southwest Loop 410 and Valley Hi Drive. The northbound lanes were closed for a short time Wednesday afternoon as San Antonio police examined the scene.
Police said the victim and the shooter were both found dead inside a vehicle, each with an apparent gunshot wound.
The Bexar County Medical Examiner identified the shooter Friday as Armando Hernandez, 46. His death was ruled a suicide, the result of a gunshot wound.
The victim was identified as Elia Zereth Hernandez, 46. The medical examiner determined she died of a gunshot wound and ruled her death a homicide.
Authorities have not identified the relationship between the shooter and the victim.
The killing is the second murder-suicide in less than 24 hours in the city.
On Tuesday night, a 25-year-old man forced his way into a home in the 100 block of Croesus Avenue, near Interstate 10 and Vance Jackson Road. He shot three people inside before turning the gun on himself.
The 25-year-old suspect, a 64-year-old man and 60-year-old woman were all pronounced dead at the scene. A 24-year-old woman was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
The murder-suicide followed a report of a domestic assault at the same home around 12:30 p.m. Monday, less than 48 hours before the killings.
