A woman who had been killed was found in her West Side apartment Friday after family members who arrived for a planned visit couldn’t contact her.
The woman, believed to be in her 50s, was discovered at about 2:38 p.m. at the Villas on Springvale apartments, 7678 U.S. Highway 90 East, San Antonio police said.
Jennifer Rodriguez, an SAPD spokeswoman, said out-of-town family members had planned to visit her Friday. When they arrived, she did not answer the door, nor did she respond to calls or text messages.
Family members contacted the property manager, who then called police.
Officers went inside the home and found the woman dead with physical trauma, Rodriguez said. Police are investigating the incident as a homicide.
The woman was not immediately identified.
Rodriguez said investigators did not yet know when the woman was killed or how long she was in the apartment.
