SAN ANTONIO — Family and neighbors are mourning the loss of a woman who died while walking home from a neighborhood store Wednesday morning.

The Medical Examiner identified 63-year-old Josefina Morales Villarreal as the person who was run down and dragged by a pickup truck on Roosevelt Avenue just south of Loop 410.

The call for help came a few minutes after 8am.

Police said the woman's husband told them she was doing what she did most days, walking a few blocks to buy a few items at a nearby discount store.

Her long-time friend Cecilia Perez said "She was already coming back to the neighborhood and it was just one more lane and then the truck hit her."

Trying hard to contain her emotions, Perez said of the woman they call Josie "She was carrying shampoo and a brush and a ketchup."
