On Monday, July 28, 2025, at approximately 8:45 p.m., the Schertz Police Department received a report of a suspicious person at SAT Asian Seafood, located at 950 FM 78. The caller reported that while in the restaurant's parking lot, an unknown Hispanic male dressed entirely in black opened their vehicle door and reached for their child.
The parent immediately intervened to stop the suspect and then left the area to call 911 upon returning home.
Officers responded to the scene and conducted a thorough search using a drone and a K-9 unit, but the suspect was not located. The Schertz Police Department's Central Investigation Unit is now working with local, state, and federal partners to process evidence collected at the scene.
The case is being investigated as an attempted kidnapping, and the Guadalupe County District Attorney’s Office will review the findings for appropriate charges. Authorities believe the suspect may be homeless and ask the public to call 911 with any sightings or information, but not to approach or attempt to detain the individual.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Ramirez at 210-619-1200.
