In a shocking incident, a prominent Texas attorney and his wife were found dead in their luxurious residence, in what police are calling a murder-suicide.
Jerry Hernandez, 61, and his wife Sonia, 52, were discovered lifeless in their $1.6 million mansion in Shavano Park on Wednesday morning.
As reported by the Daily Mail, law enforcement was alerted to the situation shortly before 8 a.m. following reports of gunfire in the opulent four-bedroom, five-bathroom home, known for its meticulously maintained grounds. The Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office has since classified Jerry's death as a homicide and Sonia's as a suicide. The circumstances that led to this tragic event remain unclear, as does the exact method of the killings.
Shavano Park, a verdant suburb in the northern part of San Antonio, is now the backdrop of this grim narrative. As of now, authorities have not released any additional details about the incident.
Jerry Hernandez, a respected figure in the legal community, had been practicing law for over three decades, specializing in personal injury cases. He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Texas in Austin in 1985, before earning his law degree from the California Western School of Law in 1988. In 2017, S.A. Scene Magazine recognized him as a top personal injury lawyer, and he was frequently invited to share his trial tactics with other legal professionals.
Sonia Hernandez, according to online records, was the proprietor of a beauty boutique. The couple leaves behind a 25-year-old daughter, Bianca Rose. As the community grapples with this shocking incident, it serves as a stark reminder of the hidden turmoil that can exist behind even the most opulent facades.
