Douglas Sanford, 27, was shot to death on October 10, 2010, along Old Seguin Road just east of I-410 in San Antonio. A police officer leaving Brooke Army Medical Center heard gunfire, found Sanford’s abandoned car with the left blinker on, a gasoline can, shell casings, and a trail of blood that led to Sanford’s body in a ditch. He had been shot multiple times in the back and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Sanford had spent the evening with friends and was returning to the home he shared with his mother, his wife Lakesha Sanford, and their three young children. It is suspected he ran out of gas and went to a nearby station before being ambushed. His mother, Vera Frierson, and his sisters described him as the only son among six children who helped with tasks like fixing cars. His wife is left caring for two boys, ages 7 and 8, and a 3-year-old daughter.

Police have not publicly disclosed a motive and no suspects have been identified. Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers. Did anyone in the area see Sanford’s car or the gas station that night?
