Early this morning, while the city slept, a homeless man was unexpectedly caught up in a violent incident. As reported by KENS5, a shootout erupted "on Roosevelt Avenue at Steves Avenue right before 4 a.m." when the tranquility of the night was shattered by gunfire exchanged between the occupants of two moving vehicles. The man, who had sought refuge under a bridge, became an unintended casualty of this urban gun battle, taking a bullet to his leg.
According to KENS5, the wounded man was taken to a local hospital and is reportedly in stable condition. Witnesses to the event have yet to come forward, and the specter of anonymity hangs over the suspects as police have not provided any descriptions of the vehicles involved.
Further details of the incident have been sparse, with law enforcement officers conducting an ongoing investigation into the circumstances that led to the shooting. As of this time, the identity of the homeless man remains undisclosed, his privacy preserved amidst the chaos. FOX San Antonio similarly covered the event, stating: "Police say a homeless man was sleeping under a bridge when two vehicles drove by shooting at each other."
