SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police are searching for a suspect following a fatal shooting at a Southwest Side apartment complex late Monday night.

Officers were called around 11:30 p.m. to the Granada Apartments in the 1400 block of Somerset Road, not far from South Zarzamora Street after receiving word of gunfire.

According to police, the victim, identified as 31-year-old Santos Cedillo, had gotten into an altercation with the suspect in the parking lot of the apartment complex just before the shooting.
