SAN ANTONIO – Crime Stoppers and San Antonio police are seeking information in the fatal shooting of a man outside a party at an unregistered, short-term rental home on the North Side last week.

Jordan Benjamin Burleson, 24, was shot and killed shortly before 3 a.m. on July 31 in the 4600 block of Hawthorn Woods, near Loop 1604 and Lockhill Selma Road.

Police said at least 20 people were at the party at a short-term rental home when several shots were fired. Burleson was shot in a driveway across the street.

A woman who was at the party told KSAT that Burleson was in the Marines and had just left the house to get food when he was killed.

According to a Crime Stoppers report, someone in the passenger seat of a silver Dodge Charger shot Burleson with a rifle. The suspect vehicle fled and the shooter has not been identified.

A week after the shooting, SAPD Chief William McManus assured residents that their neighborhood was safe. He believes the situation is related to gang violence.

“The place was rented to people with gang affiliations, and they were tracking the person who was shot that night. It was not an accidental shooting,” McManus said.

Crime Stoppers is offering up to $5,000 to anyone with information that could lead to an arrest.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 210-224-STOP.
