Texas man tracks down his stolen truck, gets into deadly shootout with suspected thief
SAN ANTONIO, Texas – A man tracked down his truck after it was stolen and got into a deadly shootout with one of the suspects accused of taking his vehicle in San Antonio, Texas on Thursday.
The San Antonio Police Department said in a news conference that the man located his Ford truck in the parking lot of the South Park Mall. There was a man and woman inside the vehicle, then the owner got them out of the truck at gunpoint and called police.
The owner made the man sit on one of the vehicle’s tires.
Officers said the suspect then took out a gun from his waistband and shot the owner. The owner returned fire and shot the suspect, and he later died in the parking lot.
The woman was also shot, and authorities said earlier this week she was in critical condition. The owner of the truck was in stable condition, and they were both taken to the hospital.
During the conference, police said people should call law enforcement if their vehicle is stolen.

Texas A&M Aggies Impress 5-Star OT on Visit
The Texas A&M Aggies continue to have a busy offseason after finishing the first regular season under head coach Mike Elko.
Texas A&M hosted 2026 five-star offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell for a visit over the weekend and clearly impressed one of the best players in the recruiting class. Cantwell told On3’s Chad Simmons that he “likes the Aggies a lot.”
“The visit was good,” Cantwell told Simmons. “I enjoyed College Station and getting to see everything I needed to see. … They made me feel like a priority this weekend. … The development, culture, coaching staff and continued interest make the Aggies a contender. We will see how the official visits shake out, but I like the Aggies a lot.”
Cantwell, a product of Nixa (Missouri), is the No. 1 offensive tackle and the No. 3 overall player in the 2026 class, per 247Sports’ recruiting rankings. Name a program and he’s likely received an offer from them. He’s also taken unofficial visits with Georgia, Alabama, LSU, Oregon, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, TCU and Tennessee.
Both of his parents were Olympians, so it’s not too surprising that 247Sports scouting analyst Gabe Brooks described Cantwell as having “a stellar athletic profile.”
“Tall, big-framed offensive tackle prospect with a stellar athletic profile and pedigree who’s an advanced mover at this stage of development,” Brooks wrote.
If the Aggies can beat out the rest of the country and land a commitment from Cantwell at some point in the future, he’d join a Texas A&M 2026 recruiting class that features four-star talents like receiver Aaron Gregory, quarterback Helaman Casuga, tight ends Xavier Tiller and Caleb Tafua, edge rusher Samu Moala, defensive lineman Trashawn Ruffin and receiver Madden Williams along with three-stars like safety Markel Ford and cornerback Ryan Gilbert.

North Texas ends weekend with mild, pleasant weather ahead of cold front
As North Texas wraps up the weekend, there’s a noticeable shift in the weather, leaving behind the icy remains of recent storms.
Drivers faced hazardous travel conditions from Wednesday night until Saturday, facing snow, sleet, black ice and slushy roads. Fortunately, the temperatures have stabilized, hovering in the 50s, making travel more manageable.
Sunday will feel warmer in the sun, and the mild weather will continue throughout the week. However, residents should be prepared for a notable change ahead.
Cold air is expected to return late next Sunday and continue into the following week. While it is still too early to provide exact temperatures, it is wise to start preparing.
There is a possibility of mixed precipitation, including snow or ice. However, since this forecast is quite far out, many factors could change.
The model-projected temperatures and the widespread nature of this upcoming Arctic airmass are likely to make national headlines next weekend. All trends point to a significant wave of cold air sweeping across the south and southeast.
Although the forecast is still uncertain, the Euro Weather Model — one of the most reliable weather prediction models worldwide — has consistently shown the potential for wintry precipitation returning to Texas with this next cold snap.
It will certainly be cold enough, but North Texas residents should monitor trends to determine if any precipitation is likely.
