Key takeaway on June 6, at the intersection of Culebra Road and Roft Road.
Why this matters in The San Antonio
The far West Side shooting that left a 32-year-old man without eyes is a stark reminder of the violent crimes that can occur in broad daylight on San Antonio's streets. The fact that the shooter was able to time the stoplight to line up with the victim's vehicle suggests a level of planning and intent that is particularly disturbing. As authorities seek leads in this case, residents of the far West Side are likely to be on high alert, wondering if they could have been the next target. The intersection of Culebra Road and Roft Road is a busy one, and the fact that a shooting could occur there in the middle of the afternoon raises questions about public safety in the area. With Crime Stoppers offering up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest, it is likely that someone in the community has information that could help bring the perpetrator to justice.
