SAN ANTONIO – A tragic incident occurred last week in San Antonio, where a 40-year-old woman named Sally Vasquez lost her life in a drive-by shooting. This heartbreaking event took place on April 3 in the 900 block of Burton Avenue, an area located near Aaron Place.
According to the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD), the shooting involved at least one individual in a white vehicle, which police believe may have been a Toyota Prius. This person opened fire, hitting the corner house on Burton Avenue.
