SAN ANTONIO – A man was hospitalized after a shooting on the East Side, San Antonio police said.
Officers responded to a shooting call after 1 a.m. on Sunday in the 1100 block of Delaware Street.
The 35-year-old victim told officers that he was approached by the shooting suspect outside his home. An email from SAPD on Tuesday morning identified the suspect as Felix Sebastian Beltran, 23.
A preliminary report from SAPD said the victim was outside the home with family when Beltran walked up and started disturbing them.
The victim alleged Beltran then called his mother “disrespectful names” before leaving.
Beltran then pulled a gun and shot the man twice in the stomach before fleeing the scene, police said.
The man was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, but his condition remains stable, SAPD said.
Authorities said Beltran ran east on Delaware Street but was not located. Beltran is wanted for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in connection with the incident, police said.
SAPD’s report said the victim and suspect were acquaintances.
The investigation remains ongoing.
