BEXAR COUNTY, Texas – The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office is investigating after a man and a woman were found dead with gunshot wounds on the far West Side.
Around 3:30 p.m. Monday, authorities responded to an apartment complex in the 12000 block of Culebra Road, near Roft Road.
On Tuesday, BCSO identified the two as Mark Anthony Ferrel Jr., 24, and Meritxell Pimentel, 27. The agency said a firearm was recovered between the bodies.
According to the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office, Ferrel’s manner of death was suicide, while Pimentel’s was homicide.
Both Pimentel and Ferrel died from a gunshot wound to the head, the medical examiner’s office said.
BCSO said a family member had been attempting to reach one of the people since Saturday evening. When they were unable to make contact, the family member went to the complex.
After the family member spoke with the property manager, the maintenance team forced entry into the unit, where they found the two dead, BCSO said.
BCSO said it appears an altercation occurred between them, and authorities are not currently looking for any suspects.
