Zoo conductor to retire after long service

A long-serving train conductor at the San Antonio Zoo, Rhetta Minnis, announced plans to retire after nearly 20 years with the zoo train operation. Rhetta began working with the zoo train in 2005, creating recurring experiences and memories for visitors and children. A coworker and longtime friend said that his decision to work at the zoo was influenced by Rhetta’s example. Rhetta plans to move back to San Francisco and has expressed gratitude for her time at the zoo, characterizing the role as the greatest job of her life and noting the cherished experiences amassed during her tenure.

What investigators are doing now

For the shooting, detectives continue to canvass the area, seek surveillance footage, and interview witnesses who may have been at or near the Chateau Chanel Night Club and adjacent parking lots. For the alleged peeping incidents, investigators are reviewing resident reports and technical evidence gathered during the arrest and subsequent inquiries. No further charges or identifications have been announced beyond those already publicized.

Community context

These separate incidents — an early-morning shooting outside a nightclub, the arrest of a suspected peeping Tom, a local lottery payout, and a long-time zoo employee’s retirement — reflect the range of events affecting San Antonio residents in a short time span. Police and community organizations typically encourage residents to report suspicious activity, preserve evidence such as video or photos when safe to do so, and cooperate with ongoing investigations to aid prompt resolution.
