SAN ANTONIO – A man was killed in a drive-by shooting outside a far West Side restaurant, according to officials.
Officers were dispatched around 3:15 p.m. Tuesday to the 5700 block of West Loop 1604 North, which is just south of Culebra Road.
San Antonio police said a 29-year-old man was entering a vehicle with his family after eating at a 54th Street Scratch Grill & Bar when at least one person inside a silver Ford Explorer started shooting at him.
A preliminary report from SAPD on Wednesday said “occupants” in the vehicle shot at the man, who was hit at least three times.
The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed Tuesday night that the man had died. Police originally said he had been taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries.
No other injuries were reported.
The driver of the Ford Explorer fled from the scene, according to police.
Police told KSAT that it does appear that there was more than one gun used, as there were several different shell casings located at the scene.
The gunfire also struck multiple other vehicles in the parking lot, authorities said.
One man who spoke to KSAT was there in the restaurant when it happened. He said he heard the family of the victim come inside the restaurant and call for help.
“We were ordering food when it happened,” he said. “She came back inside with her baby, saying ‘someone got shot. Someone got killed.’”
