BEXAR COUNTY, Texas – A Bexar County District Attorney’s Office employee was found shot to death Sunday night, according to the county medical examiner’s office.
The medical examiner’s office identified the deceased as Jennifer Rodriguez, 37, who suffered a gunshot wound to her head.
Rodriguez was pronounced dead just before 8 p.m., online records show. Authorities said Rodriguez’s death was ruled a homicide.
A Bexar County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson told KSAT on Tuesday it is investigating Rodriguez’s death as part of a possible murder-suicide.
Rodriguez was one of two people found dead Sunday at a home in the 2500 block of Sunset Bend. The other person — Marcus James, 39 — was also found dead at the home.
The medical examiner’s office also said James died of a gunshot wound to the head. His death was ruled a suicide.
Both Rodriguez’s and James’ time of death was 7:56 p.m. Sunday, according to the ME’s office.
According to a sheriff’s office spokesperson, four 911 calls were placed at the residence between March 2025 and August 2025.
None of those 911 calls, the spokesperson said, involved James.
Officials said BCSO’s Homicide Unit is still working to determine “the specific roles of each individual” in this case as well as determining whether there were any other offenses between James and Rodriguez that led up to the shooting.
“While preliminary evidence points toward a murder-suicide, investigators are conducting a thorough forensic review to finalize the sequence of events,” a BCSO spokesperson said Tuesday.
Sources told KSAT 12 News that Rodriguez was an employee in the DA office’s misdemeanor filing center.
In an internal note obtained by KSAT, Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales confirmed her employment with the DA’s office.
“During her three years with us, Jennifer made a lasting impact through her hard work, kindness, and positive attitude,” Gonzales wrote in the internal note. “Her dedication and passion for her work were evident every day, and she truly enjoyed being a part of our team. Words cannot fully express the sadness we are all feeling at her passing.”
The district attorney’s office sent out its own statement on Monday afternoon.
“While we are heartbroken by this tragic loss to not only our office but the community, we find comfort in knowing her (Rodriguez’s) memory will live on through the countless ways she made a difference,” the statement read.
The sheriff’s office said its investigation is ongoing.
