Bexar County District Attorney’s Office identifies employee Jennifer Rodriguez, 37, after fatal shooting in Bexar County

Employee death confirmed as homicide; investigators have not announced a suspect

A Bexar County District Attorney’s Office employee, Jennifer Rodriguez, 37, was found dead Sunday night after suffering at least one gunshot wound to the head, authorities confirmed Monday. The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death a homicide and recorded that Rodriguez was pronounced dead shortly before 8 p.m.

As of Monday afternoon, investigators had not released information about a possible suspect or the circumstances that led to the shooting. The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office had not publicly provided additional details about where the shooting occurred or whether any arrests had been made.

District attorney confirms Rodriguez worked in misdemeanor case intake

Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales confirmed Rodriguez’s employment in an internal message to staff and described her as a three-year employee of the office. The message said Rodriguez worked in the office’s misdemeanor filing center, a unit that handles intake and processing work tied to high-volume lower-level criminal cases.

The District Attorney’s Office also issued a public statement expressing condolences to Rodriguez’s family and describing her as someone whose work and presence affected colleagues and the broader community.

The office said it was “heartbroken” by the loss and pointed to the impact Rodriguez had on coworkers during her time there.

What is known and what remains unclear

• Confirmed: Rodriguez was 37 and employed by the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office.

• Confirmed: The manner of death was ruled a homicide, with at least one gunshot wound to the head.

• Confirmed: She was pronounced dead shortly before 8 p.m. on Sunday.

• Not publicly confirmed: A suspect, motive, or whether the shooting was targeted or random.

• Not publicly confirmed: The exact location and events leading up to the shooting.

Next steps in the investigation

Homicide investigations typically rely on a combination of witness interviews, forensic evidence collection, and digital records such as surveillance video and phone data. Officials have not said which investigative steps are underway in this case or whether there is any known risk to the public.

Because Rodriguez worked in the criminal justice system, investigators may also need to determine whether her employment had any connection to the shooting. No such link has been alleged by authorities, and no evidence supporting that possibility has been released.

The Sheriff’s Office is expected to provide additional information as the investigation develops and as next-of-kin notifications and evidence review progress.
