On May 14, 2025, around 6 p.m., Coleman Joshlin, 79, was shot in a drive-by while seated behind the wheel of his Mazda Miata at the intersection of Pat Booker Road and the I-35 South frontage road in Live Oak, a San Antonio suburb. First responders took him to a hospital with serious injuries; he was later pronounced dead. The Live Oak Police Department has opened a homicide investigation.

Detectives say the shooter was driving a silver or gray four-door Chevrolet truck and fired multiple rounds toward the Miata before fleeing. Authorities released an image of the suspect vehicle and Crime Stoppers is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Family members, including his wife of 55 years, made public pleas for answers.

The Bexar County Medical Examiner initially listed cause and manner of death as pending. Memorial notices published in the weeks afterward confirmed veteran honors and interment plans. If anyone saw the silver or gray four-door Chevrolet truck or has information about the shooting, contact Live Oak police or Crime Stoppers.
