Leticia Garcia-Castaneda, a 44-year-old Hispanic woman, was fatally shot at her home on the South Side of San Antonio on April 1, 2018. Bexar County deputies responded to a call about 5:15 a.m. and found her suffering from multiple gunshot wounds; she was pronounced dead at the scene. The Bexar County Medical Examiner later confirmed her identity and cause of death.

Authorities described the incident as a family disturbance. A 33-year-old man, Cresencio Rodriguez, was found nearby with a weapon drawn. Deputies ordered him to drop the weapon; he did not comply and deputies fired, killing him. Rodriguez was later identified as the gunman responsible for Garcia-Castaneda’s death, and no other suspects were named.

The case was handled as a domestic disturbance that escalated into lethal violence and prompted community discussion about intimate partner violence. If anyone knew Leticia or has information about what led up to that April 1 disturbance, please share details with investigators.
