Bexar County, TX – Authorities have confirmed the identity of one of the victims in a tragic incident that shocked a local neighborhood over the weekend. The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed on Monday that 31-year-old Carlos Mora was one of the two individuals found dead at the corner of Dewitt Avenue and Blue Wing Road.
According to official reports, Mora’s cause of death was a gunshot wound, and his death has been officially ruled a homicide. The second victim, a 60-year-old male, has not yet been publicly identified, as the investigation into the circumstances of the deaths continues.
Police responded to the scene just before 8:30 a.m. Sunday, after a family member discovered the two men deceased. Authorities say both appeared to have suffered gunshot wounds to the head. Preliminary investigations suggest the incident may have been a murder-suicide, with one individual allegedly shooting the other before turning the weapon on himself. Early indications also suggest that the two men may have been father and son, though investigators are still confirming the relationship.
Detectives are actively working to piece together the events leading up to the tragic incident. Authorities are interviewing family members, neighbors, and potential witnesses to better understand the circumstances and any underlying factors that may have contributed to the confrontation.
“The investigation is ongoing, and much of the information remains preliminary,” a Bexar County spokesperson said. “We are committed to providing clarity to the families affected and the community as soon as possible.”
Local residents expressed shock at the news. Many described the quiet neighborhood as tight-knit and expressed concern about the sudden and violent nature of the deaths. Community members have called for additional mental health resources and awareness, highlighting the importance of support systems in preventing domestic tragedies and family-related violence.
Experts note that while incidents of familial murder-suicide are rare, they underscore the critical need for proactive community engagement, mental health support, and early intervention for families experiencing conflict or distress.
Authorities emphasized that further details—including the exact circumstances, motive, and sequence of events—are still under investigation. The Bexar County Police Department is urging anyone with information to come forward to assist with the ongoing inquiry.
As the community mourns this devastating loss, officials continue their careful investigation to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the events and to provide closure for the families impacted. Updates will be shared as new information becomes available.
