On Thanksgiving Day, Michael Moore, a 20-year-old man, was arrested in connection with a shooting in San Antonio that left two people dead and two others injured. He has been charged with capital murder for multiple victims and two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to records from the Bexar County Jail, as reported by KSAT.

A shooting took place at a home on the East Side of San Antonio, where a group had been gathering since the day before Thanksgiving. The incident occurred as Moore was leaving the residence, and he allegedly began shooting. San Antonio Police Chief William McManus reported that two people were found dead inside the home, while two others were taken to the hospital with unspecified conditions. The motive behind Moore's actions is still unknown.

After the incident, law enforcement located Moore in a car near North New Braunfels Avenue and Houston Street. During the encounter, "Moore told officers he was the shooter," according to a statement from SAPD, mentioned by KSAT. The Medical Examiner's Office confirmed that 27-year-old Devin Lavalais was one of the victims who died, as stated by MSN. All the victims were staying at the home where the shooting occurred. Moore now faces legal charges related to the shooting, and the investigation is ongoing as authorities continue to search for answers.
