3 men shot at SW Side apartment complex uncooperative with officers, SAPD says

Shooting happened around 10:45 p.m. in 700 block of West Mayfield Drive

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police are investigating after three men were shot at an apartment complex on the city’s Southwest Side late Thursday night.

Officers were called around 10:45 p.m. to Guild Park Apartments in the 700 block of West Mayfield Drive, not far from South Zarzamora Street and Somerset Road after receiving word of shots fired.

According to police, officers arrived to find only a crime scene and discovered multiple shell casings on the ground. The three men shot had driven themselves to a nearby neighborhood hospital before officers arrived, police said.

Witnesses at the apartment complex say they heard a commotion outside and then saw several people and vehicles fleeing the parking lot. No one, however, actually saw the shooting.

SAPD said the victims were uncooperative at the hospital and gave minimal information about the incident.

Two of the men wounded are in critical condition and one is presently listed in “stable” condition, a preliminary police report states.

The San Antonio Police Department, the San Antonio Fire Department and EMS all responded to the call.

A motive for the shooting is not currently known.
