Lionel Jay Hernandez, 55, was killed on June 1, 2025, after a road‑rage confrontation on San Antonio’s far North Side escalated into gunfire. The incident occurred just before 5 p.m. along the 22000 block of Interstate 10 near Stonewall Hill, when two vehicles stopped and an altercation that began in traffic moved to the roadside near businesses. Hernandez suffered multiple gunshot wounds, was rushed to a hospital, and was pronounced dead; the Bexar County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide.

Authorities identified the other driver as 22‑year‑old Joseph Daniel Chi, who called 911 and remained at the scene; court and jail records show Chi was charged with murder and booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center, then released two days later while police continued the investigation. Memorial and victim‑tracking notices confirm the victim’s name, age, date of death, and location.

What did anyone nearby—drivers, workers at the nearby businesses, or witnesses along I‑10—that afternoon see or hear that could clarify how the confrontation turned deadly?
