SAN ANTONIO – A disturbance at a South Side apartment involving a love triangle escalated into a stabbing on Sunday afternoon, according to the San Antonio Police Department.
Officers said they found two suspects — a 26-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman — with multiple stab wounds after responding to a call just before 3 p.m. in the 10200 block of S. Zarzamora Street.
Authorities said the stabbing appeared to stem from a dispute involving a dating relationship — described as a conflict between a boyfriend, a girlfriend and a new boyfriend.
According to SAPD, a third suspect, identified as a 20-year-old woman, arranged for a 19-year-old man to arrive at the location so that the other two suspects could rob him.
When the 19-year-old arrived, police said the 26-year-old and 23-year-old suspects pulled a gun on him and demanded his belongings. A physical altercation then broke out between the 19-year-old and suspected robbers, the department said.
The 19-year-old man was able to disarm one of the suspects and find a knife close by, officers said. The suspected robbers were then stabbed multiple times, SAPD said.
The two injured suspects received treatment on scene and were later taken to a local hospital for treatment. SAPD said they were later arrested after their release from a hospital.
SAPD’s Homicide unit responded to the scene to continue the investigation.
