San Antonio Man charged with capital murder of relatives
San Antonio, Texas (KWTX) - Michael Burger, 20, faces a count of capital murder for the killing of two relatives.
San Antonio officers on Sunday responded to several gunshots in the 3800 block of Parkdale Street where they found Burger armed with an assault rifle and a shotgun.
At the scene, an officer found two dead victims outside the apartment.
“It appears it could be a family violence incident,” said San Antonio Police Chief William McManus in a press briefing.
An officer demanded for the suspect to drop his weapons before firing the duty weapon but did not hit Burger who was taken into custody.
The investigation is still ongoing.
Just now leaving the scene of a double murder at 3800 Parkdale Drive. An officer nearby heard the shots, quickly responded, and arrested the suspect. Motive? Possibly family violence. That’s preliminary at this time.
