A San Antonio man found himself the victim of a drive-by shooting last night while walking on the city's West Side. The incident, which took place around 9:30 p.m. near the intersection of South Calaveras and Guadalupe Street, left the man hospitalized with a gunshot wound to the leg.
Details surrounding the shooting remain scarce, but according to KENS5, authorities described the suspect's vehicle as a dark-colored sedan, from which the shots were reportedly fired. Walking on the sidewalk at the time of the attack, the man, whose identity has not been disclosed, was hit while a suspect in the said vehicle rolled up and began shooting.
The victim, whose age has been given as in his 30s, was taken to a local hospital. His condition was described as stable, as per FOX San Antonio. The San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) has asked for the public's assistance in gathering information about the shooter, who, at the time of reporting, remains at large.
In the meantime, the SAPD has continued their investigation with minimal leads. Other than the description of the car, authorities have little to work on relating to the shooter. "The man told them, he was just walking on the sidewalk when a suspect in a dark-colored sedan rolled up and someone inside it started shooting at him," says the report from KENS5. It emphasizes the randomness of the violent act that punctured the night with terror on an otherwise quiet street.
Community members with knowledge of the shooting are encouraged to contact the SAPD.
