The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office has identified the victims killed in a tragic Thanksgiving morning shooting on the city’s East Side as 24-year-old La Vontay Drummer-Simms and 27-year-old Devin Lavalais.
San Antonio police responded to the incident, which unfolded in the early hours of Thursday at a residence in the 600 block of Potomac Street near Dignowty Hill.
According to SAPD Chief William McManus, a group of individuals had been gathered at the home since Wednesday.
The situation escalated when a man, while leaving the house, suddenly began shooting. Police have not yet determined the motive behind the attack.
Two people were pronounced dead at the scene.
The other two victims, men in their 20s, sustained injuries of unknown severity and were transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Authorities detained a suspect, identified as Michael Moore, a few blocks away near East Houston Street and North New Braunfels Avenue shortly after the shooting.
He has since been charged with capital murder of multiple persons and two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Chief McManus described the incident as a senseless act of violence, and investigators are working to piece together the events leading up to the shooting.
