The victim has been identified as Lyndon Seymore, 24.

Police are still searching for suspects in the shooting they said was a targeted attack.

Original Story:

A shooting outside of an East Side church Sunday morning left one man dead and two suspects still on the run, according to San Antonio police.

The shooting happened around 10:30 a.m. in the 1300 block of WW White Road.

Police said a silver Durango arrived for church and there were four adults and two children inside.

As they were unloading, a man who had been standing in the parking lot came up and started shooting his rifle at the group’s vehicle, SAPD said.

A 24-year-old man was struck three times in the chest by the gunfire while still in the driver’s seat, according to police. The others ran inside the church for safety and were uninjured.

SAPD said the suspect fired approximately 17 to 20 rounds. The man who was shot died at the scene from his injuries, police said.

The suspect got into another vehicle, in the passenger’s side, and sped away from the scene heading westbound before officers arrived.

Police said the shooting did not appear “random,” and the church was not targeted. Four vehicles were hit by the gunfire.

This is an ongoing investigation.
