Family dispute leads to bloodshed at NW Side apartment complex

Suspect arrested nearby, police say

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police say a family dispute at a Northwest Side apartment has ended with two people suffering from injuries.

A man was shot in his shoulder and a woman suffered a cut to her leg.

Officers found both of them at the Latitude Apartments in the 6400 block of Wurzbach Road shortly before 12 a.m. Thursday.

They had been called there for a shooting in progress.

A short time later, they found a suspect, later identified as Jerald Lowe, 32, a few blocks away.

He was arrested on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Police said witnesses told them Lowe had been arguing with the 40-year-old man in the parking lot of the apartment complex.

They say when the 38-year-old woman intervened, Lowe pushed her to the ground, causing her to cut her leg.

Witnesses told police that Lowe also shot the male victim, then ran away.

Both victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to a hospital by ambulance.
