SAN ANTONIO – Police said an argument between two men ended with both of them dead Friday morning after one of the men shot his friend and then shot himself.
The first shooting happened just before 6 a.m. in the 3700 block of Nogalitos Street, not far from Division Avenue and Somerset Road.
Officers arrived to find a man in his late 40s with an apparent gunshot wound to the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said they received a call for an argument before the shooting occurred. A motive is not currently known.
The son of the suspect told police that his father admitted to killing his friend, said he didn’t want to go back to jail and was going to take his own life.
The man told police that his father was sitting in a car at South Richter Street and Violeta Place, a few miles from the first shooting.
When officers drove up to the man’s parked vehicle, he shot himself in the head while he was sitting in the car.
Neither man’s identity has been released.
