SAN ANTONIO – Two people have been charged with murder in connection with a shooting at a Northwest Side motel that happened on St. Patrick’s Day.

San Antonio police arrested Douglas Skaggs, 55, and Hayley Gibbens, 23, on Tuesday morning.

Roman was found inside a room at the Home Suites, located near Loop 410 and Summit Parkway.

An arrest warrant affidavit said that police obtained surveillance video from the motel showing both suspects.

It says he also told police that Gibbens helped him by luring Roman to the motel so that he could confront him.

Both suspects were booked into the Bexar County jail.
