A normally quiet trail off Landa Avenue on San Antonio’s West Side turned into a crime scene Tuesday after a 33-year-old man was shot and rushed to a hospital with what police described as possible life-threatening injuries.
Officers said they found the victim bleeding on a trail near the 200 block of Landa Avenue, on a path that leads into a nearby park. According to police, he had been hit twice in the stomach and once in the leg and was taken in critical condition to a local trauma center. A woman at the scene was detained as a witness, and investigators said they do not yet have information on a suspect, according to KENS 5.
Investigation Underway
San Antonio police were called to the area after reports of gunfire along Landa Avenue. Officers searched the scene, walked the surrounding blocks, and collected evidence on and around the trail while detectives chased down early leads into the night.
Investigators urged anyone who might have video or information about the shooting to contact authorities so they can follow up on tips and piece together what led up to the gunfire.
Where It Happened
The 200 block of Landa Avenue sits on the city’s West Side, in a neighborhood laced with greenway paths and small parks that locals use for walking and biking. The trail near where the victim was found connects to other nearby segments that are part of San Antonio’s larger greenway system, according to TrailLink.
What’s Next
As of Tuesday night, police had not announced any arrests and detectives were still interviewing witnesses and working the case. Authorities and local media said updates will be released as new information surfaces, and KENS 5 has the initial account from police and details from the scene.
