Parents detained after 4-year-old Josiah Cabral dies after shooting at Northwest Side home in San Antonio
SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Authorities have identified the 4-year-old boy who died following a shooting inside a Northwest Side home as Josiah Cabral. Police say the investigation remains active as they work to determine the circumstances that led to the tragic incident.
According to San Antonio Police Chief William McManus, officers were dispatched around 3 p.m. Monday to a residence in the 10000 block of Windstone Creek, near Bandera Road and Loop 1604.
Two separate 911 calls — one placed from inside the home and another from outside — reported a gunshot.
Upon arrival, officers found Josiah’s father on the floor attempting to provide lifesaving aid to his son.
Josiah was transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased.
Chief McManus confirmed that only three people were inside the home at the time of the shooting: Josiah, his mother, and his father.
A handgun was involved, but specific details regarding how the firearm was discharged have not yet been released.
Both parents were detained at the scene for questioning as investigators work to establish a clear timeline and determine what occurred.
Neighbors expressed shock and sadness after learning of the child’s death.
“It’s so awful and sad,” said neighbor Victoria Downing. “I just hope police get to the bottom of what happened to this 4-year-old.” Another neighbor, Adriana Almarac, described the incident as “nerve-wracking.”
Authorities emphasize that the investigation is ongoing, and additional information will be provided as it is confirmed.
May Josiah rest in peace.
MT. JULIET, Tenn. — Authorities have identified two victims killed during an active shooter incident at Cedar Creek Marina in Mt. Juliet late Friday night.
The suspect, identified as Gary Haley, a convicted felon with an extensive criminal history, is deceased following an officer-involved shooting, officials confirmed.
Mount Juliet Police officers were dispatched at approximately 9:30 p.m. Friday to the Cedar Creek Marina, located in the 9000 block of Saundersville Road, after receiving reports of a man threatening another individual on the docks.
Due to the active shooter report, a shelter-in-place order was issued for the surrounding area as a precaution.
Upon arrival, officers located an adult male suffering from a gunshot wound.
The victim was later identified as Robby Brogdon, who was transported to a local hospital for emergency medical treatment.
Despite life-saving efforts, Brogdon later succumbed to his injuries.
Investigators determined that the suspected shooter had retreated to a boat within the marina and had barricaded himself inside.
The standoff continued for several hours as officers secured the scene and attempted to resolve the situation safely.
At approximately 1:00 a.m. Saturday, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) reported that the suspect engaged responding officers and fired shots at them under circumstances that remain under investigation. Officers returned fire.
