A late-night out in Stone Oak turned violent when a man was shot in the head during a disturbance inside a north-side San Antonio nightclub, authorities said. EMS crews rushed the victim to a local hospital in critical condition as San Antonio police responded to the busy nightlife corridor off Loop 1604.
Police Response And Investigation
San Antonio Police Department officials told KENS 5 that officers arrived to find the man with a gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
Investigators said the violence started as a disturbance inside the club in the 18000 block of Tuscany Stone, near Stone Oak Parkway and Loop 1604, and escalated when a suspect pulled out a handgun and opened fire. The shooter took off before officers got there. Police searched the surrounding area but were not able to find the suspect, according to KENS 5.
Venue And Neighborhood Context
The shooting unfolded in Stone Oak, a packed north-side stretch known for restaurants, retail and nightlife. Event listings identify a night-and-day venue at 18236 Tuscany Stone that hosts pool parties and weekend events, as per SimpleTix. Property and commercial listings describe the site as a sizable dayclub and event space that can draw big weekend crowds, a setup that can turn a small dispute into a large-scale problem once emotions flare and people spill into surrounding parking lots.
Police Appeal For Tips
SAPD is asking anyone with information about the shooting to contact investigators or Crime Stoppers. As of Sunday morning, no arrests had been reported and authorities had not released a suspect description, as reported by KENS 5. Detectives said they plan to review surveillance video and continue interviewing witnesses as the investigation moves forward.
Why It Matters
Nightlife violence in San Antonio has resulted in several criminal cases and convictions in recent years. In 2023, a nightclub shooting on the city’s northwest side led to multiple prosecutions, as mentioned by KSAT. Incidents like the one on Sunday have added to ongoing local discussions about club security, staffing, and how quickly cases are handled from the crime scene to the courtroom.
