SAN ANTONIO – A woman was found shot on the East Side, feet from an IDEA Public Schools campus early Friday, according to San Antonio police.
A passerby found the woman’s body as they left their home near the corner of 600 Center Street near North Olive Street around 5:20 a.m., an SAPD preliminary report said.
When officers arrived, they discovered the woman had been shot in the abdomen.
San Antonio Fire Department crews pronounced the woman dead at the scene. She is believed to be between 30 and 40 years old.
SAPD is not certain what led up to the shooting, but is hoping security footage from the nearby IDEA Carver campus could help them, an officer said at the scene.
The officer also said they were looking for a driver in a black sedan; however, no immediate identifying information for the vehicle is known.
Homicide detectives were called to the scene to investigate, police said.
The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office will formally identify the woman and determine her cause of death.
A spokesperson for IDEA said in an email to KSAT that it was aware of the incident and that all its students were safe.
This is a developing story. KSAT will update this story as we learn more.
