San Antonio Tragedy: 33-Year-Old Man Identified in Domestic-Related Murder-Suicide That Claimed the Life of Angelina Raquel Bryand
San Antonio, TX — The San Antonio community is in mourning following a heartbreaking domestic-related murder-suicide that left 32-year-old Angelina Raquel Bryand dead inside a Northeast Side home. The tragic incident unfolded on the morning of Friday, April 4, 2025, at a residence located in the 5300 block of Randolph Boulevard.
According to the San Antonio Police Department, officers were dispatched to the scene after receiving a call for a welfare check. Upon arrival, they discovered the lifeless body of Angelina Bryand, a beloved daughter, friend, and community member, who had succumbed to a gunshot wound. Near her body, they also found the 33-year-old male suspect, deceased from what investigators say was a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The preliminary investigation indicates that the incident stemmed from a domestic dispute that tragically escalated into deadly violence. Police have not yet publicly identified the male suspect as they work to notify all next of kin, but confirm he was known to the victim and had a history of personal involvement with her.
Family members and neighbors are devastated, expressing their shock and heartbreak at the loss of Angelina, who was described as a bright, compassionate, and driven young woman. Those close to her said she had recently taken steps to reclaim her independence and was looking forward to a fresh chapter in her life. Tragically, those dreams were cut short.
“Angelina had the biggest heart. She always tried to help everyone else, even when she was going through tough times herself,” said a friend, who asked to remain anonymous. “She didn’t deserve this. No one does.”
The murder-suicide has sparked renewed concern over the rising toll of domestic violence in San Antonio and across Texas. Advocates for domestic abuse survivors have called the incident a somber reminder of the importance of intervention and support systems for individuals in dangerous relationships.
Local domestic violence shelters and hotlines are encouraging anyone experiencing relationship abuse to seek immediate help. “These are the tragedies we fight every day to prevent,” said one spokesperson for a local advocacy center. “No one should suffer in silence. There are resources, and there are people who care.”
Authorities have stated that the investigation is ongoing, and they continue to gather details about the timeline leading up to the shooting. Autopsies and forensic examinations are being conducted, and investigators are also reviewing prior police calls to the home for any relevant information.
Friends and family members are now planning a memorial to celebrate Angelina’s life. A candlelight vigil is being organized in the coming days to honor her memory and to offer support to others who may be experiencing similar struggles.
