San Antonio police responded around 5:15 a.m. to a shooting in the 1700 block of West Lawndale Drive, near U.S. Highway 281 and Broadway, according to KSAT. The outlet reported that one man was taken to a hospital with a non-life-threatening injury and that another man was detained for questioning because he may be connected to the shooting. KSAT said it was unclear whether anyone would face charges.
Further details about the events leading to the shooting come from WOAI’s report. It described an argument among three men inside a vehicle at an apartment complex off Lawndale Drive near Broadway. The men were apparently preparing to get out and fight when one was shot in the right leg, the outlet reported. WOAI described the injured man as being in his early 20s and said he was taken to a nearby hospital.
WOAI reported that investigators had difficulty establishing what happened because the men involved were not cooperating. The outlet also reported that a witness saw a man enter a nearby apartment after the shooting. Police went to the unit; the person inside came out peacefully and was taken into custody. Officers said he matched a possible suspect’s description, but had not confirmed whether he fired the gun. WOAI said police were also trying to identify and locate another man believed to have been involved, with little information available about him.
The outlets use different geographic labels for the location: KSAT calls it the North Side, while WOAI describes the apartment complex as being on the Northeast Side. The account of the confrontation and follow-up investigation above relies on WOAI’s reporting; no independent confirmation of those details is available in the supplied material.
