According to police, a 23-year-old woman and her brother were parked at the gas pumps when several men inside a black Kia Rio with front-end damage drove up alongside them. Police said the men inside the Kia got into an argument with both the woman and her brother.

Police said while leaving the gas station parking lot, the front passenger of the Kia Rio sat on the car door’s window and pulled out a black AR-15-style rifle and shot at them.

The woman’s vehicle was hit by gunfire. The woman’s brother then pulled out his own gun and shot back at the men as it drove away, police said. The gunman and the suspect vehicle have not been found. If the men are located, they likely face a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Anyone with any knowledge of the incident is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 210-224-STOP.
