SAN ANTONIO – Authorities have identified a 24-year-old man who was fatally shot following an altercation outside a hookah lounge.

Justin Rice died at the scene of the shooting in the 8700 block of Broadway, just north of Loop 410, at around 4:30 a.m. Sunday, according to the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office.

San Antonio police said the incident started with a confrontation inside of Vybrations Luxury Lounge, which then escalated to the parking lot.
