Funny (not) how Houston news sources have no interest in this story, yet it's reported on two different San Antonio news sites.

 

Real short on details; I'm trying to see if anyone around my group knows any more.  At first I thought it may have been near a storage lot as there's lots of metal fencing but it appears to just be 18 wheeler parking areas.  There are some apartments across the street..
