Targeted Attack Rocks San Antonio Business

Jose Hernandez Galo, a 21-year-old employee at Mission Landscape Supply, systematically murdered three co-workers during the early morning hours of November 8, 2025. The shooting occurred between 7:45 and 8:00 a.m. at the business located on the 4400 block of Stahl Road in northeast San Antonio. Police Chief William McManus confirmed the attack was not random, indicating Galo specifically targeted his victims who were simply starting their workday.

The three victims—two men aged 48 and 38, and a 24-year-old woman—were found dead at the scene when police arrived. Other employees fled the building during the attack, escaping what could have been an even deadlier rampage. The swift response from the San Antonio Police Department secured the area, but the damage was already done to this small business community.

Shooter Evades Justice Through Suicide

Hours after murdering his co-workers, Galo was discovered dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, denying victims’ families the justice they deserve through proper legal proceedings. This cowardly act has left investigators scrambling to determine the motive behind the targeted killings. The suspect’s decision to end his own life demonstrates the selfish nature of his actions, prioritizing his escape from consequences over accountability for the innocent lives he destroyed.

San Antonio Police continue their investigation, working with the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office to piece together the timeline of events. The lack of prior reported incidents or warning signs at Mission Landscape Supply highlights the unpredictable nature of workplace violence and the vulnerability of small businesses to such attacks.

Community Grapples with Workplace Violence

This tragic incident underscores the growing concern about workplace safety in America, particularly for small businesses that may lack comprehensive security measures. The attack has disrupted operations at Mission Landscape Supply and traumatized surviving employees who witnessed their colleagues’ murders. The broader San Antonio community, especially in the northeast sector, now faces the reality that workplace violence can strike anywhere, affecting hardworking Americans simply trying to earn a living.

The incident raises important questions about mental health resources and early intervention programs that could potentially prevent such tragedies. However, without clear warning signs or previous incidents, this case demonstrates the challenging nature of predicting and preventing targeted workplace attacks, leaving businesses and employees vulnerable to individuals who choose violence over rational conflict resolution.
