BEXAR COUNTY, Texas – At least one person was arrested and another was hospitalized after a shooting on the far West Side, according to the sheriff’s office.
Deputies responded to the shooting just after 9:15 p.m. Tuesday in the 12600 block of Emmett Grove, near Stillwater Parkway.
A caller told a dispatcher they heard multiple gunshots and saw several vehicles flee from the area at a high rate of speed, the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office said.
Upon arrival, deputies found multiple homes and vehicles were struck by the gunfire. Though no injured people or “active threats” were found at the scene, the sheriff’s office said several shell casings were recovered.
Less than 10 minutes later, BCSO said a dispatcher told deputies that a male with a gunshot wound to his lower body arrived at a nearby urgent care. He was later referred to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
BCSO said the male was uncooperative about his involvement. He does not face any criminal charges at this time.
Deputies determined an exchange of gunfire happened between two, possibly three, vehicles traveling through the area, the sheriff’s office said.
Around 10 p.m., BCSO said deputies were dispatched to the 12300 block of Wagon Boss for reports of a damaged vehicle, less than a mile away from where the first caller reported the shooting.
The sheriff’s office said the vehicle “had damage consistent with being at the location of the shooting.”
Deputies contacted and detained the last occupants of the vehicle at a nearby residence, identified as a 17-year-old boy and Aniya Brenae West, 18.
West was arrested on a charge of tampering with or fabricating physical evidence with intent to impair, BCSO said.
It was not immediately clear whether the 17-year-old was arrested or released. On Wednesday, a BCSO spokesperson said additional information could not be provided because of his age.
BCSO said it’s still in the process of determining whether any other people were involved.
Deputies are working to obtain additional evidence. Anyone with relevant information on the shooting is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at 210-335-6000.
