A woman was killed in a shooting on the Northeast Side of San Antonio after a reported altercation involving a knife fight. The suspect, Javier Gonzales, is currently in custody but out on bond. The investigation is ongoing.
Jennifer Marie Rodriguez, 25, was fatally shot on January 25th at a mobile home community in the 7100 block of Woodlake Parkway. Approximately 30 rifle rounds were fired into the home, claiming Rodriguez's life. The incident stemmed from a prior altercation between Rodriguez and Priscilla Gaiton, 43, a conflict that involved a knife fight . After the shooting, Gaiton died in a car crash while fleeing from Bexar County sheriff's deputies.
According to newly obtained court and police records, an AK-style rifle found in Gaiton's vehicle matched casings discovered at the scene. 19-year-old Javier Gonzales, Gaiton's son, was identified as a suspect in the shooting. He was tasered when he attempted to escape custody at the hospital. Gonzales is currently out on $470,000 in bonds under house arrest. He faces charges of murder, two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, evading arrest, and escape from custody.Rodriguez was involved in a separate incident on November 19, 2024, where she was accused of assaulting Gaiton with a knife. While Rodriguez claimed self-defense, police records indicate she was considered the aggressor. Following the initial stabbing, Gaiton's boyfriend received a call from Gaiton, warning him that Gonzales was planning retaliation. The extent of the animosity between the two families remains unclear.
