Man shot, killed while working out at North Side gym, San Antonio police say

SAPD says suspect detained nearby

SAN ANTONIO – A man is dead after a gunman went up to him while he worked out at a North Side gym and shot him, according to San Antonio police.

Officers were called out to the shooting in the 7100 block of Blanco Road just after 7 p.m. Monday.

When they arrived, they found the man who had been shot once dead. Police said the suspect, identified as Jessie Marqui MacWilliams, walked up behind the victim as he worked out and shot him up close.

The gunman left the gym and started going down the sidewalk toward a nearby car dealership, according to police. Officers approached him and took him into custody without incident.

Booking records with the Bexar County Jail show MacWilliams, 32, was charged with murder. A bond amount has not yet been set.
