Two years after a horrific Thanksgiving Day tragedy that left a San Antonio family decimated, authorities are still on the prowl for the ruthless shooter responsible for the cold-blooded slaying of three siblings. The fatal drive-by shooting took place in the 4000 block of Sunrise Creek Drive, an event that has remained a somber shadow over the city's East Side community, as reported by KSAT.

On that fateful evening of November 25, 2021, a passenger in a white four-door vehicle unleashed a barrage of bullets into the home, packed with adults and children celebrating the holiday. This brutal act of violence resulted in the immediate deaths of two brothers, Charles Wolford, 28, and Eugene Hodge, 25. Their sister, Shanobea Wolford, 32, tragically succumbed to her injuries and passed away due to complications in June 2022, as per News 4 San Antonio.

The nightmare unfolded around 8 p.m. when the unidentified suspect opened fire, shattering not only the windows of a home. The mother of the victims, Eashonne Wolford, survived her injuries after attempting to shield her 12 grandchildren from the gunfire. In a statement obtained by KSAT, she expressed her anguish, "Whoever did this I call animals because you can’t just shoot somebody like we’re animals." The family, besieged by loss, tries to cling to the hope that justice will one day manifest.

The San Antonio Police Department, partnered with Crime Stoppers, is presently seeking the public's aid in hunting down the perpetrator of this heinous crime. They are offering a bounty of up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest. Tips can be submitted anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers at 210-224-STOP, texting “Tip 127 plus your tip” to CRIMES (274637), or through the P3 Tips app.
