Edinburg police investigating fatal shooting

The Edinburg Police Department is working to determine whether a woman was shot to death or whether she died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound Wednesday, a police spokesperson said.

In a news release issued Thursday, the city said police were called to a business called Yess Transportation in the 300 block of Conquest Boulevard just after 5 p.m. Wednesday and found the body of a 41-year-old Jessica Yvonne Vasquez of Alamo who had sustained a gunshot wound.

“This is still an ongoing investigation and at this time, the identity of the woman is not being released pending notification of next of kin,” the release stated.

Lt. Rey Sepulveda said the woman who died was a supervisor at the business, which provided transportation for individuals with disabilities.

He said police responded to the business after someone called the death into police.
