DPS Officials Seek Leads in 2007 Murder of Bexar County Man

The Texas Department of Public Safety is asking for the public’s help in solving the 2007 murder of Blase Wright Jr., 21, in Bexar County.

On Feb. 2, 2007, Wright was in his Universal City apartment when an unknown person fatally shot him during an apparent burglary. A witness reported seeing a black male leave the apartment and enter a small gold car that was occupied by another black male and a Hispanic female, who was driving.

DPS said the Texas Rangers and investigators on the case would like to identify the Hispanic female driving the car. The forensic sketch below represents the woman’s appearance at the time of the murder, and witnesses reported that she had reddish hair.

Investigators believe some individuals may know who went to the apartment that day and why, and DPS is asking for anyone with information to come forward and help solve this crime. To submit a tip, people can do so here, or contact the Missing Persons Clearinghouse at 1-800-346-3243.

This case is part of a DPS public awareness program where one unsolved case gets featured by the Texas Ranger Unsolved Crimes Investigation Team each month in an effort to generate new investigative leads. It also brings added attention to unresolved or “cold cases” across the state.
