Violent Home Invasion Shakes San Antonio Community
San Antonio was the scene of a shocking home invasion that took place on October 14. The incident unfolded at the Ivy Apartments, located in the 4500 block of Lavender Lane, sending ripples of fear through the neighborhood. In this alarming case, two men are at the center of a disturbing robbery that left the victim seriously injured.
All In The Family?
It’s quite unsettling to imagine knowing your attackers, but that’s the reality for a 63-year-old man who was reportedly familiar with the suspects. Over the past four years, the victim had crossed paths with both of the alleged robbers, Glen Jones, 49, and his companion, Cory Jones, 42. Imagine opening your door to someone you thought you knew, only to find yourself in a nightmarish situation that would alter your sense of safety forever.
The Sinister Evening
As the victim went about his evening, he was startled by sounds coming from his front door. Curiosity led him to check, and sadly, this decision would lead to a violent turn of events. Upon opening the door, he was greeted not by a friendly face but by Glen, Cory, and an unidentified accomplice. In a brazen act of aggression, the three men stormed into his home.
A Terrifying Assault
What ensued was truly horrific. Glen and Cory, along with the mystery suspect, assaulted the victim with a crowbar, leaving him vulnerable and terrified. The situation escalated as they allegedly wrapped the crowbar around his neck and dragged him towards the bedroom. The victim was held at gunpoint as the brazen thieves rifled through his belongings, stealing valuable items while he suffered physical injuries.
The Hunt for Cory
In the wake of this violent home invasion, Glen Jones was apprehended the following day. Authorities arrested him after a Crime Stoppers post alerted the public about the alarming crime. Glen is currently being held on a substantial $75,000 bond, while Cory Jones remains elusive and is wanted for his part in this terrifying tale.
Community on Alert
The San Antonio police are not just standing idly by. They are actively urging anyone with knowledge about Cory Jones’s whereabouts to step forward. A reward of up to $5,000 is out there for information leading to his capture. This incentive might just encourage individuals who know something to help bring closure and safety back to the community.
What You Can Do
For those who may have seen or heard something suspicious, the San Antonio Crime Stoppers hotline is available at 210-224-STOP. It’s key to remember the importance of community vigilance in times like these. Every bit of information can significantly impact an ongoing investigation.

The victim’s story is a chilling wake-up call for all residents in the area to remain aware of their surroundings and to take precautionary measures in their daily lives.
