Earlier on Monday night, city councilwoman Adriana Rocha Garcia referred to the victims as migrants, after she was briefed on the situation by the San Antonio police chief.

Authorities were alerted to the scene just before 6 p.m., when a worker in a nearby building heard a cry for help, San Antonio Police Chief Bill McManus said at a news conference Monday night. The worker found a trailer with doors partially opened and saw a number of people deceased inside, McManus said. 

Sixteen people – 12 adults and four children – have been taken to nearby medical facilities for further care, according to San Antonio Fire Chief Charles Hood.

Three People are in custody, McManus said, but added it’s unclear if they are connected to the situation.
