Fatal Bexar County shooting death of Jordan Benjamin Burleson – Obituary
Jordan Benjamin Burleson has been identified as the victim of a deadly shooting that occurred outside a party at an unregistered short-term rental property on the North Side of San Antonio last week.
Burleson, a San Antonio native and U.S. Navy member, was shot and killed just before 3 a.m. on July 31. The incident took place in a driveway across the street from the gathering located in the 4600 block of Hawthorn Woods, near Loop 1604 and Lockhill Selma Road.
Police reports indicate that the house party, which was attended by approximately 20 people, was underway at the short-term rental when multiple shots were fired. Burleson, who had stepped out to get food, was struck by gunfire while in the driveway.
A party attendee shared with KSAT that the gathering, primarily composed of people from San Antonio, was both a birthday celebration for a deceased individual and a filming session for a music video.
The attendee also mentioned that Burleson was visiting his hometown during the incident and suggested that the shooting might have been a case of mistaken identity or retaliation.
According to Officer Nick Soliz from the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD), suspects in a vehicle discharged 10-15 rounds from what is suspected to be a rifle, hitting Burleson multiple times. The attendee attempted to provide aid by performing CPR and stopping the bleeding until police arrived, but Burleson was pronounced dead at the scene.
Following the shooting, several individuals believed to be involved barricaded themselves inside the rental property before eventually surrendering peacefully, while others fled the area. SAPD’s hostage negotiators and SWAT team used a loudspeaker to communicate with those inside. Eight individuals were successfully evacuated, and firearms were discovered both inside and outside the residence.
