SAN ANTONIO – A 17-year-old was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries after a shooting downtown, according to the San Antonio Police Department.

Officers responded to the shooting around 5:10 a.m. Saturday in the 600 block of Indianola Street, where police said they found the 17-year-old with a gunshot wound to his head.

The 17-year-old was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said.

Multiple witnesses told officers that the 17-year-old was scheduled to do an “informal boxing match” in the parking lot of the location. Police said as the match was happening, an unidentified male shot the 17-year-old in the head “unprovoked.”

The shooter fled the scene before officers arrived and has not been arrested as of Saturday morning, police said.
