San Antonio Crime Stoppers has increased its reward to $10,000 for tips that lead to an arrest in the murder of 4-year-old Maryann Marble. The community is still reeling from the incident that occurred almost three months ago on May 8, when two men armed with semiautomatic rifles fired into a family home in Northeast San Antonio, as reported by KSAT. The attack resulted in the death of young Maryann and left four others, including two children under the age of 10, critically injured.

The incident, described as a "targeted attack" by Bexar County Sheriff Salazar, occurred at approximately 7:40 p.m. in the 6700 block of Windsor Hollow, where two masked assailants fired upwards of 25 rounds into a residence, the attack leaving those inside without a place in their home untouched by the violence reported by mySA . Salazar expressed to the press that it was a near miracle that the outcome was not graver, stating, "they Swiss cheesed the front of that house. It’s a miracle we’re not dealing with five dead bodies right now."

Authorities have not only increased the reward for crucial information but have also identified the escape vehicle as a gray Infiniti Q50, seen fleeing towards Walzem Road after the attack. Anyone with information about the crime is encouraged to come forward. Tips can be reported anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers at 210-224-7867, texting the tip code to CRIMES, or through the Crime Stoppers website and the P3 Tips app available for smartphones.

Sheriff Salazar has emphasized their unwavering commitment, stating that his "highly trained investigators who are great at tracking people down who don’t want to be tracked down" remain on the trail. "I’ve got a lot of people on this case, and they’re not going to stop until we have someone in custody," Salazar said in a statement obtained by mySA.
