Tragedy struck in Selma last Sunday evening when an attempted robbery resulted in the death of a 20-year-old man. Selma police have made arrests in connection to the incident, with suspects expected to face capital murder charges. According to reports from FOX San Antonio, the body of Hayden Lee Holt was discovered off Retama Crown near Lookout Road.
The events unfolded around 5:30 p.m. when individuals, believed to have traveled from San Antonio to Selma intending to steal a gun, opened fire during the heist gone wrong. The botched robbery led to a chaotic scene where more than 30 shots were to quickly ring out, leaving two others injured, yet expected to recover. As reported by News 4 San Antonio, the names of the suspects in custody remain undisclosed at this time.
Investigators are still piecing together the details of what exactly occurred during the violent encounter. The Selma Police Department is expected to provide more information as the case develops and charges become formalized. There has been no official word on the motive behind the robbery, though it appears the suspects specifically targeted this gun in their ill-conceived plan.
