Jarod Douglas Turner, 28, was killed in a daylight drive-by shooting on the afternoon of May 27, 2025, after finishing a meal with his girlfriend and their young child. The family was walking to their vehicle outside the 54th Street Scratch Grill & Bar in the Alamo Ranch area when gunfire erupted from a passing SUV. Turner was struck multiple times while trying to get into the car and was later pronounced dead at University Hospital; the Bexar County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide from a fatal gunshot wound to the torso.

Investigators recovered numerous shell casings across the parking lot—reportedly from more than one caliber—suggesting multiple weapons were used. Witnesses described a silver Ford Explorer–type SUV speeding away with at least two people inside. Detectives treated the ambush as targeted and canvassed nearby businesses for surveillance video; as of those reports no arrests had been announced and no motive was disclosed.

If anyone saw vehicles circling the shopping center near 5722 West Loop 1604 North around 3 p.m. on May 27 or has surveillance footage, please share tips with investigators.
