HONDO, Texas — The search for a missing Hondo woman is over now that it was discovered she had died after being hit by a vehicle in San Antonio, police said. The Hondo Police Department shared the update about Chaundra Walker over the weekend on Facebook.
Walker had not been heard from since March 7 when she ran out of gas somewhere in San Antonio, authorities said.
HPD shared this post on Saturday:
"UPDATE: We were notified today by the San Antonio Police Department that they had responded to a motor vehicle accident involving a pedestrian this week in their city. Unfortunately, Chaundra Walker was the person involved and is deceased. Family has now been notified. We offer our most sincere condolences to Ms. Walker’s family and all of those who knew her. May they find peace in the days coming."
The San Antonio Police Department also updated KENS 5 about the incident, saying that the driver of the pick-up truck did not see Walker. He was reportedly looking to his right and did not know Walker had fallen to the ground.
He called for help and stayed at the scene. He cooperated and showed no signs of intoxication, authorities said. No charges are pending.
Walker was last seen by her family on Sunday, March 6, officials said. She contacted a friend after running out of gas Monday and said she was approached by a man and then her phone contact was lost.
Many people commented on HPD's post about Walker, such as R.J. Cantu, who pointed out she was an old friend of his.
"My heart just dropped a little! Chaundra was a high school classmate and a great friend! She was always smiling and so nice to everyone she came across! Condolences to her family," he wrote.
As of Monday morning, about 200 people commented on the post and more than 700 shared it, offering their condolences to her family.
There's no word yet on whether the driver who hit Walker will be facing any charges.
