Two Found Dead in San Antonio Creek After Overnight Flash Flooding

Police say the victims were friends believed to be homeless.

Overview

  • San Antonio police recovered the bodies of a man and a woman along Salado Creek near the city’s airport, with the man found about 100 yards downstream from the woman.
  • An acquaintance first reported the pair missing, and a friend later led officers to the woman’s body along the creek.
  • The National Weather Service recorded more than 4 inches of rain by 7 a.m., including 2 inches within a three-hour span that triggered dangerous flooding.
  • The deaths remain under investigation, and the Bexar County medical examiner has not released the victims’ identities.
  • Officers searched for a third person reported missing from the same group and located that individual safely, as authorities noted persistent flood risks where people shelter near urban waterways.
