A teenage boy is dead after being shot while riding in a car early Thursday morning, San Antonio police said.
The shooting happened around 1:30 a.m. near the intersection of Whispering Creek Drive and Argonne Drive on the East Side.
The driver of the car the boy was riding in told police they were traveling near an intersection when another vehicle drove near them. The vehicle, which had multiple occupants in it, parked a distance away, the driver told police.
Immediately afterward, an unknown person on foot began shooting in the direction of the victims, hitting the teenager in the head, police said.
A male in the backseat of the victims’ car ran away from the shooting. The driver, 18, pulled into a Circle K in the 4900 block of E. Houston Street and called for help.
The unidentified teen was transported by EMS to Brooke Army Medical Center where he later died.
The driver of the car said he does not know the names of the two boys in his car. Police also did not give a description of the shooter.
No arrests have been made in the case. A motive is not currently known.
