SAN ANTONIO — A woman was found with two gunshot wounds to the back of her head when first responders were trying to pull her from her vehicle following an accident on the west side, police say.
San Antonio Police responded to the intersection of Buena Vista St. and Panuco St. near W Commerce Street around 9:38 p.m. Saturday for reports of a multi-car accident.
When officers arrived at the location, they found two vehicles that had been involved in a crash and initially thought one of the drivers had fled from the scene. First responders then found the driver laying down inside her SUV.
While EMS was working on the driver, a 30-year-old woman, they found two gunshot wounds to the back of her head. Police searched the area for any evidence of a shooting but were unable to locate anything. They did notice bullet holes in both the rear window of the woman's SUV and on her headrest.
The victim was pronounced deceased at the hospital a short time later. She has been identified as Alexis Salinas Trevino, 30. The people who were inside the second vehicle involved in the crash were checked out by EMS at the scene and released. That driver told police that she weas traveling north on Buena Vista, when the victim swerved into her lane, running into her car before hitting a utility pole.
Police have no description or information on the suspect who fired the shots.
Police continue their investigation.
