Police investigating death of teen mysteriously dropped off at downtown hospital

Boy, 17, had been shot in the head, police say

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police are investigating the shooting death of a teenage boy who was dropped off at a downtown hospital.

They say the person who drove the 17-year-old to Children’s Hospital of San Antonio around 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday quickly left.

Officers later determined the shooting happened on the South side of town, in the 3000 block of S. Flores.

Investigators marked off nearly a dozen pieces of evidence in the middle of the street.

Police say the teen had suffered a gunshot wound to his head.

He died soon after arriving at the hospital.

They said they took three people into custody for questioning, two of whom they called “persons of interest.” They say the third person may be a witness to the shooting.

As of early Thursday morning, police had not released the name of the teen who was killed.
