A late-night shooting on San Antonio's West Side left a man fighting for his life after he was found with a gunshot wound to the chest Sunday on Delgado Street.
Police were called around 11:22 p.m. to the 900 block of Delgado Street near Sabinal Street, where firefighters and EMS crews rushed in and found the victim. He was taken to University Hospital in critical condition after being treated on scene, according to KENS5. Investigators said it is still unclear whether the gunshot wound was self-inflicted, and detectives stayed on the case into the early morning hours.
Delgado Street Has Seen Deadly Incidents Before
This is not the first time Delgado Street has been the backdrop for gun violence. In June 2024, a teenager was arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of his mother in the 1500 block of Delgado Street, according to KSAT. That case drew months of attention from neighbors and prosecutors and kept the street in the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Investigation And Community Concerns
As of Monday morning, SAPD had not released any suspect information or a possible motive, and detectives said they were still working to determine what exactly led up to the shooting, local reporting shows. Coverage in the San Antonio Express-News has detailed how earlier tragedies on the West Side have left neighbors on edge and put pressure on authorities to follow through on investigations.
Authorities said they will release additional details as the investigation moves forward. As KENS5 notes, detectives remain on the scene and the probe is ongoing.
