San Antonio police have reportedly arrested six individuals in connection to what is being described as an aggravated kidnapping event at a local motel. According to FOX San Antonio, the incident took place near downtown, by I-35 and South Laredo Street on June 22. The individuals taken into custody include Monica Marie Martin, 45, Susan Elaine Fisher, 49, Ty Lee Morris, 57, Alfred Martin Wallace, Jr, 25, James R. Wilson II, and William Joshua Carter-Nowicki.

The call to police, which came in shortly before 6 p.m. Saturday, was from an unknown informant who claimed that suspects were expressly demanding to be paid to release multiple male victims being held. When SAPD officers arrived at the scene, they found four victims, one of whom was under the age of 18, as stated by KSAT. The victims' ages ranged from 17 to 48 years old. Suspects detained in the case are said to range from 23 to 57 years in age.

Further details revealed by the initial 911 call included pictures showing the male victims held against their will, as relayed by KSAT. With the information provided, authorities were able to locate both the suspects and the victims. The San Antonio Police Department then proceeded to obtain search warrants for the motel rooms on the same night of the arrests.

While the suspects have been arrested, the exact charges they might be facing have not been completely clarified, and it remains unclear whether they have been formally charged with a crime. Moreover, no update has yet to be provided on the condition of the victims following their rescue. Both sources, KSAT and FOX San Antonio, have provided consistent details about the kidnapping and subsequent arrests. However, the ongoing investigation may reveal further details about this harrowing incident in the days to come.
