With heavy hearts, the Bexar County community is mourning the tragic deaths of Gary George Ainslie, 63, and Bibiana Ainslie, 44, who lost their lives following a shooting at a home in far north Bexar County early Sunday morning, October 4, 2026. According to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were dispatched at approximately 2 a.m. to the 6200 block of Carriage Cape after receiving a report from a woman who said she had been shot by a resident who then shot himself.
When deputies arrived, they forced entry into the home and discovered an adult man deceased inside. An adult woman was also found suffering from a gunshot wound to her upper body.
Deputies immediately began lifesaving efforts before the woman was transported to a local trauma hospital. Despite those efforts, she later died from her injuries.
The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victims as Gary George Ainslie and Bibiana Ainslie. According to the medical examiner, Gary died from a gunshot wound to the head, with his death ruled a suicide. Bibiana died from a gunshot wound to the torso, and her death was ruled a homicide.
Authorities are investigating the incident as a suspected murder-suicide. The circumstances that led to the fatal shooting remain under investigation as detectives continue working to understand what happened inside the home.
The tragedy has left loved ones and the surrounding community facing a painful loss. Behind the official investigation are two lives, two stories, and two people whose absence will now be deeply felt by those who knew them.
The case serves as another reminder of the devastating impact family violence can have and the importance of recognizing warning signs and seeking support when situations become unsafe.
As investigators continue their work, Gary and Bibiana’s lives remain more than the circumstances surrounding their deaths. They will be remembered through the memories shared by family, friends, and those whose lives they touched.
May their loved ones find strength, comfort, and support during this heartbreaking time.
