SAN ANTONIO — A woman is dead after she was shot in front of her home and police said the suspect is the father of the woman's baby, who took the child after the shooting. 

The suspect, Richard Concepcion, was located in Guadalupe County and has died. He was being treated for a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The child, 18-month-old Aaron Concepcion, was found in the backseat of the truck unharmed.

According to police, the incident occured on Sunday when officers were called to assist in a child exchange in the 10400 block of Arbor Bluff. When officers were en route, a second call came in about shots being fired.

When they arrived they found a woman shot dead at her front door.

The Guadalupe County Sheriff's Office on Monday reported deputies were tipped off by a business owner on Highway 123 that the suspect vehicle was spotted traveling northbound along that highway. Deputies spotted the vehicle, and Concepcion drove from Highway 123 to FM 1339, where he pulled over. 

The department said that before law enforcement made contact with Concepcion, he shot himself. The child appeared unharmed. Concepcion was taken to a hospital by San Marcos EMS where he was pronounced dead. 

Some neighbors reported hearing what sounded like gunshots, others say they weren’t sure what the loud noise was. Matthew Ranjbar didn’t know what was happening until he got the Amber Alert on his phone and looked outside to see police cars everywhere.

"They are nice people. I don't know what happened. I lived here for almost eight years. No burglary. No nothing. Everything is just good, normal,” said Ranjbar.

Although never having issues to this magnitude, police say the domestic problems began after Concepcion moved out of the house the couple shared just a few months ago.

"Police were called out a number of times over the past three or four months. They were separated or estranged,” said Chief William McManus.

According to police, there has been a history of calls regarding domestic disturbances at the home. They said Concepcion and the woman were separated and he recently moved out of the home.
