SAN ANTONIO – Following recent criminal activity in the Champions Run neighborhood and a recent shooting in Stone Oak, City Council District 9 Councilwoman Misty Spears is calling for an in-depth public safety review of District 9.<\/p>\n

In a press release issued July 27, 2026, Spears said, \u201cThe next crime scene is always somebody else’s neighborhood \u2013 until it isn’t. That’s why we never stop working to stay ahead of crime.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spears said that over the coming days she will engage San Antonio Police Department leadership, city staff, neighborhood associations and residents to evaluate recent criminal activity and identify opportunities to strengthen public safety throughout District 9.<\/p>\n
