A fatal shooting on the West Side of San Antonio has claimed the life of a young man, authorities confirm. The incident occurred around 9 p.m. Monday at the intersection of North Colorado and Ruiz Streets, as reported by 550KTSA. Upon their arrival, responding officers discovered the 21-year-old victim suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the neck, legs, and upper body.
He was transported to a local hospital, succumbing to his injuries en route. Witnesses present at the scene, who didn't see the shooting directly, reported to the authorities that they saw a group of individuals, believed to be three to four males, fleeing from the vicinity along the nearby train tracks, KSAT News stated.
The San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) has released little information about the suspects, as no description of the alleged perpetrators could be provided by those interviewed. The area, less than a mile from where the shooting took place, where the males were spotted running, also failed to yield any weapons connected to the crime.
According to details from the SAPD preliminary report obtained by KSAT, the investigation is actively continuing in the wake of this tragedy. However, they have not yet identified suspects or established a motive behind the shooting.
