A man fatally shot in a violent ambush outside a San Antonio gas station has been identified as 33-year-old Kiante Ageous, according to the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office. The deadly shooting occurred in the early hours of Saturday near the intersection of Rigsby Avenue and W.W. White Road. Ageous was found with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.
San Antonio Police responded to the 7-Eleven convenience store around 2:55 a.m. following reports of a shooting in progress. Officers arrived to find Ageous inside a vehicle, critically injured. A 33-year-old woman who was in the car with him was also shot in the leg. Emergency crews transported her to a nearby hospital, where she is currently receiving treatment. Her identity and condition have not been publicly disclosed.
Police say the shooting was not random. Investigators believe Ageous and the woman were targeted by two suspects who followed them to the gas station in a burgundy SUV. Once the victims parked, the suspects reportedly opened fire on the vehicle before fleeing the scene. Authorities have not made any arrests, and the suspects remain at large.
Detectives are calling the attack an ambush, suggesting it may have been premeditated. Law enforcement officials are currently reviewing surveillance footage from nearby businesses and gathering witness statements to piece together what happened. They are urging anyone with information about the suspects or the vehicle involved to call San Antonio Police at (210) 207-7273.
The deadly shooting has shaken residents in the area, who say the intersection is typically busy but not known for violent crime. Community members have expressed concern over the rise in targeted shootings and are calling for increased safety measures. Many hope that surveillance footage and public tips will help bring the suspects to justice quickly.
As the investigation continues, the motive behind the attack remains unclear. Authorities have not revealed whether Ageous knew the attackers or if there was any ongoing dispute. Meanwhile, friends and family are mourning the loss of Ageous, describing him as a kind and caring person. Police continue to treat the case as a top priority and are expected to release updates as new information emerges.
