The San Antonio community is mourning the tragic deaths of Ana Laura Rennie, 55, and Robert James Rennie, 58, following a fatal incident at their home in southwest Bexar County. The heartbreaking loss has left family members, friends, and loved ones grappling with profound grief as they remember the lives of those involved and seek comfort during an incredibly difficult time.
According to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded at approximately 8:30 p.m. to a residence off Escalante Pass near Watson Road after a concerned family member reported not hearing from the couple for at least a day. Upon entering the home, deputies discovered both Ana Laura Rennie and Robert James Rennie deceased.
Investigators believe Ana Laura Rennie died from a gunshot wound, while Robert James Rennie died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office, which ruled his death a suicide. Authorities have stated that the investigation remains ongoing as detectives continue reviewing evidence to establish the complete sequence of events.
Sheriff Javier Salazar said investigators identified a prior history of domestic violence involving the couple. According to authorities, Robert James Rennie had previously been arrested in September 2025 following an alleged assault during a verbal argument. Officials said Ana Laura Rennie chose not to pursue criminal charges at that time.
