SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Police Department said a couple was found dead Monday in a Southeast Side home.
Officers were dispatched to a home just after 1:40 p.m. in the 2400 block of Christian Drive. The home is located west of Loop 410 and south of Rigsby Avenue, police said.
During a Monday afternoon news conference, SAPD spokesperson Washington Moscoso said the family of the married couple was growing concerned about their well-being.
A relative of the couple was able to break into the home and found one person unresponsive on the floor in one of the house’s rooms, SAPD said. The relative then called other family members, who then called 911.
When police arrived, the spokesperson said officers performed a “protective sweep” of the home. During their search at the home, the officers found the unresponsive person’s spouse, according to San Antonio police.
In an email to reporters sent before the news conference, a separate SAPD spokesperson described the incident at the home as a “double murder.” However, Moscoso later said the couple’s causes of death have not been determined.
“It’s obvious that this couple was very loved. They have a large family,” Moscoso said. “There’s a lot of people out here that are in mourning for the loss of these two individuals.”
