Charles Wolford, a 28-year-old African American male, tragically lost his life on November 25, 2021, in San Antonio, Texas. The incident occurred on Thanksgiving Day when a drive-by shooting targeted a house filled with family members, including adults and children. Charles Wolford, along with his siblings Eugene Hodge, 25, and Shanobea Wolford, 32, were shot during the attack.
Charles and Eugene succumbed to their injuries on the same day, while Shanobea was left paralyzed and later died from complications in June 2022. Their mother, Eashonne Wolford, was also injured in the shooting but survived.
The drive-by shooting took place in the 4000 block of Sunrise Creek Drive, near Binz-Engleman Road and Mystic Sunrise Drive. According to reports, a white four-door vehicle approached the house, and a passenger opened fire on the residence. The house was filled with 12 children and 9 adults at the time of the attack.
