A shooting incident at a 7‑Eleven gas station on Vance Jackson Road on December 16, 2025, resulted in the death of 35‑year‑old Kyle Wayne Parnell, a resident of San Antonio, Texas.
The confrontation unfolded around 8 p.m. in the 4100 block, where witnesses observed Parnell stepping out of the passenger side of a black Toyota truck before gunfire erupted from inside the vehicle. What should have been an ordinary evening at a North Side convenience store instead became the site of a lethal act that has shaken the community.
Responding officers from the San Antonio Police Department arrived quickly, locating Parnell collapsed near the storefront after attempting to seek assistance. Despite rapid medical transport, his injuries proved fatal, and the Bexar County Medical Examiner later confirmed his death as a homicide caused by multiple gunshot wounds. Eyewitnesses reported the truck fleeing immediately after the shots, reinforcing the perception of a deliberate attack in a commercial corridor adjacent to Loop 410.
The incident disrupted the routine calm of the Northwest Side, prompting detectives to initiate a comprehensive investigation. Surveillance footage and witness testimony are being examined to establish motive and identify suspects.
A person of interest was detained the following day in Universal City on unrelated charges, though formal murder charges remain pending as evidence continues to be processed. The case contributes to broader anxieties about the escalation of interpersonal disputes into deadly encounters in public spaces across Bexar County.
Parnell’s family has been deeply affected, with his mother publicly expressing both forgiveness and a desire for justice. Funeral arrangements are being planned for after Christmas, accompanied by fundraising efforts to offset unexpected expenses. The community’s willingness to contribute reflects the affection held for Parnell, whose everyday presence in San Antonio’s suburban neighborhoods was marked by warmth and relational support.
