Two people were found dead Monday afternoon after deputies responded to a call about possibly injured or sick individuals near the intersection of Roft Road and Culebra Road on San Antonio’s Far West Side. Authorities say the call came in around 3:40 p.m.; when deputies arrived, they found both people already deceased. The cause of death has not been released.
What officials are saying
According to News4SanAntonio, the scene remains under investigation and officials are holding back details until they can confirm more information. The outlet reports the initial call described individuals who were believed to be injured or sick, but deputies discovered two bodies when they got to the scene.
Where it happened
The discovery was made at the junction of Culebra Road and Roft Road, a heavily traveled crossroads on the Far West Side. Hoodline previously covered a June shooting near the same intersection; Gunfire Erupts on Culebra described first responders racing to help a driver who had been critically shot earlier this month. Online mapping tools show the corner as a key connector for west-side commuters.
Planned safety upgrades
State transportation officials have already flagged FM 471, which is what Culebra Road becomes farther out on the Far West Side, for a slate of safety improvements intended to cut down on crashes. TxDOT’s San Antonio district project page outlines plans to widen the corridor, add turn lanes and a raised median, and build bike lanes and sidewalks between SH 211 and Old FM 471.
What comes next
Deputies say the investigation is ongoing and more details will be released once they are verified. News4SanAntonio reports that authorities were still working the scene Monday evening. Anyone who may have information is urged to contact local law enforcement through the department’s nonemergency or tip lines.
