SAN ANTONIO – A man was arrested and charged with murder after police responded to a deadly shooting at a Northwest Side apartment complex on Tuesday morning, according to San Antonio police.

A sergeant at the scene said a witness heard a single gunshot just after 8 a.m. at the Sherill Oaks Apartments in the 4000 block of Sherril Brook Road, not far from Bandera and Evers Roads.
