Gunplay rocked a quiet San Antonio neighborhood yesterday, as a man found himself in the crosshairs and was shot in the chest, police said. The incident occurred just west of the city's downtown area. The unnamed victim, a man in his 30s, was seriously injured and is currently recuperating in a local hospital.
According to the San Antonio Police Department, the shooting took place around 10:45 p.m. at a residence on the 1200 block of South San Marcos Street, not far from Interstate 10 and Tampico Street. The authorities were quickly on the scene, but the shooter had fled and remains at large. Cops are now to diligently work to gather information and track down a suspect, but details are sparse as there were no witnesses.
In a report by KENS 5, officers mentioned that due to his serious condition, the shooting victim was unable to provide investigators with much information about the incident. The San Antonio Police Department, Fire Department, and EMS all responded to the emergency call.
With the investigation ongoing, any potential leads or motives are being kept close to the vest. Anyone with information is urged to reach out to law enforcement.
