East Side shooting ends with man shot, bullet-riddled and wrecked SUV, police say Officers were called to Poinsettia Street just after 2 a.m. after hearing shots fired
SAN ANTONIO ā San Antonio police are investigating a shooting on the East Side in which they found the crime scene before they located the victim.
Officers happened to be in the area when about 30 gunshots rang out around 2 a.m. Thursday.
They searched the area and found a sport utility vehicle full of bullets holes that had wrecked out on Poinsettia Street near Grimes.
Police said they did not find anyone inside the vehicle. However, they searched the area and found a man hiding behind a house nearby.
The 29-year-old man was suffering from what officers said did not appear to be a life-threatening wound to his belly. He was rushed to a hospital for treatment.
Police did not make any arrests right away, nor did they offer a motive for the shooting.
