SCHERTZ, Texas — Two people are dead after a disturbance call brought Schertz police officers to the 14400 block of Interstate 10 East in the first hour of Sunday, November 15, 2026, where they found a 35-year-old woman and a 40-year-old man suffering from apparent gunshot wounds, according to the Schertz Police Department.

The department said officers were dispatched at approximately 12:40 a.m. after a 911 call reported a disturbance along IH-10 East. When officers arrived, they found both people wounded. Emergency responders attempted life-saving measures, but neither person survived, and both were pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

What officers found at the scene

Police have described the two people found at the scene only by age and sex so far: a woman aged 35 and a man aged 40. Their names have not been publicly confirmed by authorities. The Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office is expected to handle the formal identification of both victims and the notification of their next of kin, a step that must be completed before names are officially released.

What police have not said

Investigators have not explained what happened before the disturbance call, what may have triggered the gunfire, or whether the two people knew each other. Police have not said whether anyone else was present, whether a weapon was recovered, or whether they are looking for any other person in connection with the deaths. Names that have circulated in unofficial online posts have not been confirmed by the Schertz Police Department or the medical examiner, and Awaaz Punjab is not publishing them until an official identification is made.

Why this stretch of IH-10 matters to readers

Schertz sits northeast of San Antonio along Interstate 10, one of the main east-west freight and travel corridors in Texas, linking San Antonio with Seguin and Houston. The highway carries heavy truck traffic day and night, including many Punjabi-American truckers who run the I-10 route across the southern United States. The 14400 block of IH-10 East is a frontage-road stretch of businesses and access roads on the San Antonio side of the city. Police have not reported any closure of the interstate's main lanes in connection with the investigation.

What happens next

The investigation remains in its early stages. Detectives are working to establish the circumstances that led to the shooting, and the medical examiner's autopsies and formal identifications are the next official steps expected in the case. Police are expected to release the victims' names once identifications are complete and families have been notified. Anyone with information about the disturbance or the shooting is being directed to the Schertz Police Department as the investigation continues.

This report is based on the Schertz Police Department's account as reported by KSAT 12 News in San Antonio and by N'Cuffs, with corroborating details from other local reporting of the department's statement. It will be updated when police release identifications or new findings.
