Gunfire tore through a West Side block early Monday after a house party spilled into the street, leaving three teenagers shot and one of them clinging to life, according to San Antonio police.
The shooting unfolded just after 2 a.m. outside a home on the city’s West Side. Witnesses told officers that two separate disturbances pushed party guests out into the street shortly before shots rang out. Authorities have not identified the victims and say the investigation remains active.
What we know so far
According to News4SanAntonio, the shooting happened at a home off South Chupaderas near San Fernando Street and left two boys and a girl wounded in the street. All three teens were taken to nearby hospitals. One remained in critical condition, while the other two were last listed as stable.
No arrests have been announced. Detectives told the station the investigation is ongoing as they work to piece together what led up to the gunfire and who pulled the trigger.
A pattern of late-night violence
This West Side house party shooting is the latest in a string of late-night violence tied to gatherings across San Antonio.
KSAT reported that on May 29 a man was critically injured during a shooting at a Northwest Side house party. In another incident, MySA detailed a March triple shooting that ended with a deadly crash.
Those cases, along with Monday’s violence, have fueled ongoing worries about safety at late-night gatherings and the potential for disputes to turn deadly once guns enter the mix.
How to help investigators
Police are urging anyone who was at the party, or who has video or information about the shooting, to come forward. The City of San Antonio and police encourage tips through Crime Stoppers at 210-224-STOP (210-224-7867) or SAPD’s tip lines.
As noted in South Side fatal shooting coverage, those channels remain key tools for reaching investigators. The San Antonio Police Department has not released a suspect description or reported any arrests in connection with the West Side shooting.
