Man dead in shooting following altercation at North Side home, SAPD says

SAN ANTONIO – A 45-year-old man was killed after an altercation turned into a shooting at a North Side home, according to San Antonio police.

The shooting happened at around 5:45 p.m. Thursday in the 12200 block of Ridge Crown, not far from Wetmore Road.

Responding officers found the man lying near a bedroom entryway inside the home. EMS officials arrived and pronounced the man dead, an SAPD preliminary report said.

Officers spoke to a witness who did not realize it was a shooting until a 37-year-old man, identified as a suspect in SAPD’s report, came to her door and said, “he had shot someone.”

The man asked the woman to call police, the report said.

SAPD detained the man at the scene. It is not yet clear whether charges are expected or how the two men knew each other.

SAPD said its investigation is ongoing.
