On November 6, 2018, Delma Daniel Pereida, a 19-year-old female of Hispanic ethnicity, was tragically shot and killed at her home on Cone Hill Drive in San Antonio, Texas. The incident occurred during a family argument that had been ongoing for several days. The suspected gunman, 19-year-old Alexander Hyde, also died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the scene.
A 52-year-old woman was injured in the shooting and taken to the hospital in critical condition.
The San Antonio Police Department identified Hyde as the shooter, who had gone to the home unannounced and opened fire, killing Delma and her 17-year-old sister, Cassandra Pereida, before taking his own life. The investigation revealed that Hyde had been previously arrested on suspicion of theft in 2017, but the charge was later dismissed.
The tragic event was ruled a murder-suicide, and the Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed the identities of the victims. The case drew significant media attention due to the young ages of the victims and the violent nature of the incident.
