San Antonio authorities are on the hunt for a gunman after a shooting incident on the city's southwest side late Monday night that left a man in his 20s wounded. According to KENS5, police responded to reports of a shooting at West Jewell Avenue and Brentwood Place near Cupples Road around 11 p.m.
Upon arrival, officers discovered the victim with a gunshot wound to his upper thigh. He was promptly transported to University Hospital and is currently reported to be in stable condition. The suspect, however, managed to quickly flee the scene before further identification or capture. No description has been given of either the suspect or the vehicle used to to hastily escape. This story continues to develop as details emerge.
Additional information from Fox San Antonio suggests that the shooting was the result of a disturbance that began inside a home on the West Side. The disagreement escalated, spilling out into the street before the shooting occurred.
The victim's identity has yet to be released as the investigation into the shooting presses forward. Authorities are currently looking to gather evidence and testimonies that might shed light on the circumstances surrounding the incident. Local residents are asked to come forward with any information that could possibly aid to help apprehend the individual responsible for this act of violence. San Antonio Police Department has not yet provided an official statement on potential motives or connections to other criminal activities in the area.
