A man is found dead, in a ditch On October 31, 1992, Henry Sherwood, aged 42, was found dead in a ditch on San Antonio's South Side. Sherwood had been robbed and fatally stabbed, and his body was discovered the morning after he was last seen alive. He had been at a local bar on October 30th before the attack occurred. Police reported that several of his personal belongings had been taken, which pointed to a robbery as the motive behind the killing.
The investigation into Sherwood's death remains unsolved, and it has since been classified as a cold case by the San Antonio Police Department. His death, like many other unsolved homicides of that period, underscores the violence that plagued certain parts of San Antonio during the early 1990s. Despite efforts by the authorities to gather more information, leads have been scarce, and no arrests have been made to date.
The case remains part of the San Antonio Police Department’s ongoing cold case investigations, with law enforcement continuing to encourage anyone with relevant information to come forward. Crime Stoppers and the SAPD have consistently appealed to the public for assistance, hoping that even decades later, someone may provide the crucial detail needed to solve this case.
