Man found dead under downtown San Antonio bridge, SAPD says

Authorities are investigating whether the man suffered a gunshot wound to his chest

SAN ANTONIO – An investigation is underway after a man was found dead under a downtown bridge, according to San Antonio police.

The man’s body was found around 1 p.m. on Wednesday under Interstate 10 near North Frio Street.

An SAPD sergeant told KSAT that they were dispatched to the location for an injured or sick adult.

Upon arrival, officers said they found a man dead underneath the bridge.

Authorities are investigating “the possibility that there may be a gunshot wound to the victim’s chest,” according to police.

However, due to the influx of rain eroding possible evidence, they couldn’t rule out a gunshot wound as his cause of death, an SAPD sergeant on scene told KSAT.

The department said it isn’t ruling out the possibility of the man’s death being ruled a homicide.
