Two people were found dead Sunday near the corner of Confluence Creek and Talley Road on San Antonio's Far West Side, according to the Bexar County Sheriff's Office. Deputies had responded to a reported shooting in the area when they discovered the bodies, and the deaths remain under investigation.
The Bexar County Sheriff's Office confirmed that two people were found deceased at the scene, according to WOAI News 4 San Antonio. Deputies were reportedly investigating the discovery as a developing story, and no further details about the victims or the circumstances of their deaths had been released as of Monday morning.
A Fast-Growing Corridor With a Violent Recent Past
The site where the bodies were found sits inside the Veranda master-planned residential community, a subdivision built by developers including Hakes Brothers in unincorporated Bexar County, according to My Texas Home Resource. Because the location falls outside San Antonio city limits, the Bexar County Sheriff's Office serves as the primary law enforcement agency for the area.
Talley Road has seen a string of violent and deadly incidents in recent months. In April, the sheriff's office announced the arrest of a suspect on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and tampering with physical evidence tied to a March 27 road-rage shooting on the 4300 block of Talley Road, in which a high-speed chase ended with a stray bullet striking an innocent driver's windshield. Hoodline covered that shooting in an earlier report on the gunfire.
In June, a 25-year-old woman was killed in a two-vehicle collision involving a semitruck on the 2000 block of Talley Road, with two other people hospitalized in the crash, as Hoodline reported in its coverage of the fatal Talley Road crash. And in late July, Sheriff Javier Salazar reported that deputies discovered a body wrapped in plastic inside a Far West Side home on Fort Leonard while searching for a missing person, opening a homicide investigation in which three people were detained at the scene, according to KSAT.
Explosive Growth Straining Infrastructure and Patrols
The 78253 ZIP code, which includes the area around Talley Road and Alamo Ranch, ranked among the top ZIP codes nationwide for inbound residential moves in 2025, according to the San Antonio Express-News as reported by Hoodline in its story on plans to pack Talley Road with townhomes. That population surge has driven denser housing developments and increased demand on local infrastructure, including the roads themselves — Bexar County Commissioners Court approved a $13.8 million development agreement in May 2024 with Talley Extension Revitalization Initiative LLC to advance the Talley Road Phase III infrastructure project in Precinct 1.
The rapid growth has also tested law enforcement capacity in the unincorporated area. The sheriff's office established a dedicated substation on Old Talley Road in the Alamo Ranch area in January 2024 after residents voiced concerns that patrol coverage was struggling to keep pace with development, according to KSAT. And in April 2025, Sheriff Salazar told county commissioners that his office must request air support from the San Antonio Police Department or the Texas Department of Public Safety whenever helicopter assistance is needed for major emergency responses in unincorporated parts of the county, as reported by Texas Public Radio.
Regional reporting from KENS 5 found that domestic violence accounted for roughly 50 percent of all homicides investigated by the Bexar County Sheriff's Office during the first half of 2026, with the county recording four domestic violence murder-suicides over a single three-week stretch earlier in the year. That statistic offers broader context for the kind of violent crime deputies across Bexar County have been responding to, though the sheriff's office has not attributed a cause to Sunday's deaths.
The area sits within Precinct 1 and is served by Northside Independent School District, the largest school district in the San Antonio region with more than 106,000 students; local schools serving the subdivision include Lieck Elementary, Bernal Middle, and Brennan High School. No further information on the victims' identities or the cause of their deaths had been released, and the investigation remains ongoing.
