Witnesses said they heard Rendon-Santiago screaming from a fourth-floor balcony at the 1800 Broadway apartments just before she was found dead with multiple gunshot wounds.

SAPD has yet to release a motive for the shooting.

Rendon-Santiago received her Ph.D. in counseling psychology from Texas A&M last year. She was working as a clinical fellow in geropsychology at the South Texas Veterans Health Care System before being shot.
