Several in custody after fatal shooting leaves 1 dead, SAPD says

Victim, 23, shot multiple times

SAN ANTONIO – An early morning altercation led to a shooting and one person dead, according to San Antonio police.

The shooting occurred just before 12:30 a.m. Wednesday at the intersection of Mockingbird Lane and Tupelo Lane on the Northwest Side after a group of people who left a nearby motel began arguing.

Police said at one point, a man pulled a gun and fired multiple times at another man.

The victim, a 23-year-old man, was taken to the hospital with multiple gunshot wounds, where he later died, according to a preliminary report from SAPD.

The alleged suspect fled from the scene but was later taken into custody without incident along with three others at a nearby apartment complex, SAPD said.

An SAPD sergeant at the scene said the three other individuals were being interviewed as witnesses.

Police did not indicate in their report if any arrests had been made. The department’s investigation is ongoing.

The victim’s identity has not been released, pending an identification by the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office.
