San Antonio's streets are shadowed by the specter of a cold-blooded murder as cops and Crime Stoppers feverishly search for a mystery trio seen with a man mere moments before he was gunned down outside a local laundromat. The victim, identified as the 29-year-old Hyman Ira Lopez Jr., met a grisly end, being shot in the head in an incident that has rocked the city's West Side.
The grim discovery of Lopez's body was made on November 3rd, in the back parking lot of Sunshine Laundry on Culebra Road, turning a place associated with the mundaneness of daily chores into a crime scene. FOX San Antonio reports that the San Antonio Police Department has unveiled surveillance footage that captured the victim in the company of two women and one man, who remain unidentified, shortly before the tragedy struck.
Authorities have hit a wall with no witnesses coming forward; the video evidence has become the linchpin in this case. As detectives scramble to uncover the identities of these persons of interest, the public's assistance has never been more crucial. Information comes at a price, with Crime Stoppers willing to shell out up to $5,000 for tips that lead to a collar in this gruesome slaying.
"Police said they have no witnesses, but there is surveillance footage of the shooting," as per KSAT. With the stakes as high as ever, San Antonians are urged to dial (210) 224-STOP with any scrap of information or to text their tips to CRIMES (274637).
