INEZ, TEXAS — The manhunt for Seng Savin, the suspect in the fatal shooting of a woman in Inez, has ended with his capture, according to law enforcement sources late Friday evening. Savin, 41, was taken into custody without incident following a multi-agency search that began after the victim was found dead in her home on Minatre Road on the morning of October 3, 2025.
The victim, whose identity has not yet been released pending notification of next of kin, was pronounced dead at the scene from apparent gunshot wounds. The killing sent shockwaves through the quiet rural community, where fatal shootings are rare but not unheard of.
Authorities identified Savin as a person of interest shortly after the incident. Described as an Asian male with visible tattoos and last seen wearing a grey hoodie and pants, Savin fled the scene on foot before deputies arrived. His capture brings a measure of relief to residents, but also raises urgent questions about gun violence, mental health, and the systems that failed to prevent this tragedy.
“This wasn’t just a crime—it was a rupture in the fabric of our community,” said one Inez resident who asked not to be named. “We need to know how this happened, and what safeguards were missing.”
The Victoria County Sheriff’s Office has not yet released details about the arrest or potential charges. Investigators have stated that the incident appears to be isolated, but the broader implications are anything but.
What Comes Next
- Autopsy results and victim identification are expected in the coming days
- Formal charges against Savin will be announced pending arraignment
- Community members are calling for a public forum on safety and accountability
Anyone with additional information is urged to contact the Victoria County Sheriff’s Office at (361) 575-0651 or submit anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers.
