That woman walked up into that Sonic with no shoes on her nasty feet. I hope she gets athlete’s foot and a prison sentence. MOO

These women are the ones who are suspected of killing the manager? It makes me sad that he was murdered for such a stupid reason while he was just trying to earn a living.

Yes…… and where is all that broken glass when you need it?

Sure hope the two sought are apprehended and quickly. And without further loss of life to others. The whole description of events is sickening, ruthless, and so unnecessary. These two cannot be located soon enough. And swiftly and firmly dealt with justice for the individual killed and others affected.

Still have not seen any mention or identity of details for the second individual. MOO

Note: to my understanding , local affiliate FOX news is allowed on WS. Whereas national / central links are not. And the interest of identifying the one suspect this is believed of importance to the case to post. I have reported this post to moderators for their assessment. MOO

 

[asmi106082]

I had a feeling they’d be identified quickly with that clear footage. Good! MOO

It's been 22 days and no arrests in this case.

 

[I am not Sherlock H.]

I wonder if law enforcement in Texas is working on this case. Are there any signs of that? Why is there no information on this senseless murder? Anyone see any updates anywhere? MOO

I am wondering the same thing. The case would be under San Antonio Police Department jurisdiction. I cannot understand why an arrest has not been made.

Update…. One arrest apparently for the driver of the vehicle in this Sonic restaurant shooting incident. Online August 16, 2024 article from FOX San Antonio entitled ‘Suspect charged in shooting of Sonic manager after dispute over counterfeit money’:

I wonder if the suspect who used the gun is also from Louisiana and fled there?

Nearly two months after Daniel Shrewsbury's murder, police have arrested the suspected getaway driver but not the killer.

And the believed shooter is still being sought. SMH. I would envision / hope that state and federal Marshals and the Texas Rangers are on this case?

Article states: “If you know anything about Roberson's whereabouts, please call the San Antonio Police Department's Homicide Unit at 210-207-7365.”

I think you meant to note that the authorities believe she may be in Austin.

This article sheds more light on the events of the night of July 7 based on an employee account. AR was at the Sonic with two other people. The group gave the employees attitude and DS went to the group. They tried to pay him with the counterfeit money. The group entered the kitchen on a second encounter they paid him with real money. AR stole a tip jar with $100. DS took a picture of the license plate as the group left and that is when police believe AR shot him in the chest.

First time I have read that she stole the tip jar money and that there were this many encounters with DS and the employee. The employee that is interviewed says that if AR had not entered the kitchen a second time his friend would have lived.
