Southwest Bexar County Couple Found Dead in Suspected Murder-Suicide

A daughter found Ana Laura Rennie, 55, and Robert James Rennie, 58, dead in a southwest Bexar County home; the sheriff says Ana Rennie was killed (homicide) and Robert Rennie died by suicide after a handgun was recovered at the scene. A bullet reportedly left the house and struck a nearby residence. Authorities believe a domestic-violence history existed between the couple, and this incident is part of a rising DV-related homicide trend for the sheriff’s office this year. A prior misdemeanor DV case was dismissed due to a missing witness. Resources for domestic violence and mental health support are available to those in need.
