A man is in the hospital after someone opened fire on a vehicle on San Antonio’s North Side early Tuesday, police said. Officers said the victim was taken to a nearby hospital, and detectives have opened an investigation into the attack. Authorities have not released the man’s condition and have not identified any suspects.
Police Confirm Drive-By Shooting
San Antonio police are treating the incident as a drive-by and said the man was transported to a local hospital in the early morning hours, according to KSAT. Few details were immediately available as investigators canvassed the area for evidence and possible witnesses.
Recent Surge of Vehicle-Based Attacks
The North Side shooting is the latest in a string of vehicle-based attacks reported across San Antonio this month, including an April 3 drive-by that killed a 40-year-old woman on the South Side, as reported by the San Antonio Express-News. In a separate case, a teen was sentenced in connection with a deadly wrong-house drive-by, according to the San Antonio Express-News. Together, those cases highlight how quickly drive-by shootings can turn deadly in residential neighborhoods.
Police Ask for Tips
Investigators are asking anyone with information, including home or dash camera video, to contact the San Antonio Police Department. Previous drive-by shooting investigations have also leaned on Crime Stoppers tips, as KSAT reported.
The investigation remains active. This story will be updated as authorities release additional details.
