Victor Vazquez Mora, 43, died after a gunshot wound to the chest following a confrontation at the Starlite Motel, 3623 Fredericksburg Road, on San Antonio’s Northwest Side. San Antonio police were called about 8:15 a.m. on October 28, 2025, after a report of a shooting. Investigators say the violence grew out of a personal dispute: Vazquez Mora arrived at a motel room, allegedly forced his way in and struck the mother of his children while her new boyfriend and two children were present.

Police say the 47-year-old boyfriend opened fire, striking Vazquez Mora twice. Emergency crews took Vazquez Mora to a hospital, where he later died; the Bexar County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide. Officers recovered a firearm at the scene and detained people who had been present; initial reports noted three people detained for questioning and later accounts identified the mother and her boyfriend among them. The children were released to other relatives.

Police described the boyfriend as the person who fired the shots, but no name or criminal charges have been publicly reported. The medical examiner’s homicide classification confirms another person caused the fatal injury, but it does not by itself resolve whether the shooting was criminally unlawful. Did anyone witness the altercation at the motel or have information about what happened just before the shooting?
