Early Tuesday morning, a drive-by shooting on the city's west side left one man wounded. The incident occurred around 12:30 a.m. in the 300 block of Adaes Avenue near Culebra Road. According to a report from KENS 5, the victim was inside his home when he was struck twice in the leg by gunfire from a passing vehicle.
The circumstances leading to the shooting are currently under investigation, but police have not yet released a description of the suspect vehicle. Amidst this violence, the victim was taken to University Hospital and has been reported to be in stable condition. Following the incident, officers found evidence of the shooting with multiple shell casings littering the street, indicating the severity of the attack.
Additional details from a FOX San Antonio report revealed the man was actually asleep in his house at the time of the shooting. The assailants' bullets did not stop at the victim; they also hit the residence and a vehicle parked out front, underscoring the shooter's recklessness and the potential for collateral damage in this residential area.
Authorities are now scouring for suspects, seeking justice for a night interrupted by violence and fear. For now, the victim's identity has not been shared with the public.
