SAPD is investigating if it was self-defense

SAN ANTONIO – A landlord shot and killed a tenant during a dispute outside a home on the North Side on Thursday morning.

The incident happened just after 8:30 a.m. in the 1000 block of W. Huisache Avenue, near Blanco Road.

They both pointed guns at each other and continued to argue. At some point, the landlord shot the man a few times, hitting him in the head, police said.
