Summary
Albert Nixon Richter IV, 44, was identified as the gunman who killed his estranged wife, Brianna Richter, 40, in a Stone Oak home Friday before fatally shooting himself, the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office said Monday.
Around noon, Albert shot through the home’s glass doors and moved toward Brianna; the medical examiner ruled her death a homicide and his a suicide.
Officer Hunter Albrecht, a seven-year San Antonio police officer, was shot in the lower abdomen during the standoff, while two children inside the house were unharmed.
After failed SWAT contact attempts, police used tear gas and later sent a drone into the home around 3 p.m., where both Albert and Brianna were found dead.
The shooting shut down streets and forced evacuations in the Stone Oak neighborhood, underscoring the domestic-violence context of the case.
