San Antonio, TX – A 38-year-old man was shot and killed Friday night in a chilling act of violence that unfolded inside his own home. Authorities have identified the victim as Lenger L. Villalobos Munoz. The shooting occurred around 9:40 p.m. near the intersection of Bulverde Road and Naco-Perrin Boulevard on the city’s Northeast Side.
According to San Antonio police, the suspect in the case is an acquaintance of Munoz. The two men reportedly had a strained and tense history, with previous disturbance calls linked to their ongoing conflict. Investigators believe the shooting was the result of a personal dispute that took a deadly turn.
On the night of the incident, the suspect approached Munoz outside his home. An argument is believed to have occurred before the suspect suddenly opened fire. In a desperate attempt to escape, Munoz ran inside his residence and tried to flee upstairs. However, the suspect chased him inside, continuing to shoot as he pursued the victim. Munoz was struck several times and collapsed before the suspect fled through the back door.
Police say the gunman escaped the area in a vehicle that was later discovered abandoned near Highway 281 and Wurzbach Parkway. The vehicle is now in police custody and is being processed for evidence. Despite this lead, the suspect remains at large, and authorities have not yet released his name or a detailed description.
The incident has triggered a full-scale manhunt and sparked fear in the surrounding neighborhood. Law enforcement officials are working tirelessly to identify and locate the suspect. Detectives are interviewing witnesses and reviewing surveillance footage from nearby homes and businesses in hopes of narrowing down the timeline of the attack.
Neighbors and family members of Munoz are devastated by the loss and stunned by the violent nature of the crime. Police emphasized that the attack was targeted and not random, though they are urging the public to remain alert and report any suspicious activity.
Anyone with information that could help police locate the suspect is encouraged to contact the San Antonio Police Department. Anonymous tips can also be submitted through local Crime Stoppers. As the investigation continues, officials hope that community cooperation will bring justice for Lenger Villalobos Munoz and his grieving loved ones.
