Roy Ponce, 26, was fatally shot on July 30, 2018, in an ambush at his northwest San Antonio home on Basse Road. Investigators say the attackers had broken into the house the day before, stole keys to gain access, hid in the attic and waited for Ponce to return before opening fire; he was struck multiple times as he entered.

Two suspects were arrested and charged with capital murder: 29-year-old Paul Sambrano and a 16-year-old juvenile, who was charged as a juvenile and held in the Bexar County Juvenile Detention Center. A third suspect was identified but had not been taken into custody at the time.

Sambrano’s record included prior arrests for assault, criminal trespass and possession of a controlled substance. The violent, premeditated nature of the attack drew strong law enforcement and community attention.

Did anyone in the northwest San Antonio area see anything suspicious around Basse Road in late July 2018?
