SAPD identifies 3 victims in Southeast Side fire ruled a homicide

A fourth person, a 13-year-old male, has not yet been identified

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police have identified three of the four people found dead after a fire at a Southeast Side home turned into a homicide case.

The victims, Alfredo Pescador, 44, Blanca Pescador, 40, and Leslie Pescador, 19, were identified Tuesday by SAPD in an email to KSAT. A fourth person, a 13-year-old male, has not yet been identified.

Police have still not provided details into the cause of deaths of the four people as their investigation remains ongoing.

San Antonio firefighters discovered the bodies inside of a home in the 4400 block of Wrangler Run on Friday that was leveled by a two-alarm house fire.

SAPD on Monday said the case had shifted to a homicide investigation. The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office deferred communication to police when asked to confirm the cause and manner of death for the victims.
