Police and medics rushed to the corner of Roosevelt Avenue and Benita Street just before 7 p.m. Monday after reports of gunfire south of downtown. The San Antonio Fire Department said at least one person was transported to a hospital in critical condition.
According to News 4 San Antonio, the call came in shortly before 7 p.m., and officers arrived to investigate the shooting. The station reported that crews remained at the scene as investigators processed the area into Monday night.
Where it happened
The shooting occurred near the corner of Roosevelt Avenue and Benita Street, a stretch just south of downtown that mixes businesses and residences. That corridor has seen multiple violent incidents this year, including a March report from Hoodline, titled "South Side Roosevelt Chaos," that described an officer hurt in a separate shooting.
Investigation underway
Officials had not released any suspect descriptions or a possible motive as of the most recent update from News 4 San Antonio. The case remained active Monday night, with authorities continuing to work the scene.
Citywide context
The incident comes amid a string of shootings across the city this month. Earlier in July, an officer-involved shooting on the East Side left a man dead, as reported by the San Antonio Express-News.
This story is developing, and Hoodline will update this post as police and emergency crews release more information. If you witnessed the shooting or have information, contact the San Antonio Police Department.
