Police say Robert Snyder opened the door for Tran and was shot in the doorway while Beatriz Snyder was shot inside the home.
The Snyder's 20-year-old daughter fled through an upstairs window. A third man fought Tran and was able to wrestle the gun away from him.
San Antonio police said Tran was upset about being forced out of a business partnership with Snyder, and cited that as a possible motive for the crime.
