San Antonio police officers first responded to the home at approximately 2 a.m. Sunday. Martinez was pronounced dead at the scene, the report states.

Police said Martinez and the 23-year-old suspect were arguing before witnesses said they heard gunshots ring out. In addition to Martinez, officers said the suspect was also found with a gunshot wound to his torso area.

The man was transported to a local hospital for further treatment. In a Monday afternoon update, police said the suspect died of his “injuries” at the hospital.

Investigators are still working to determine who pulled the trigger in both cases. At this time, the suspect’s identity remain unclear.

The medical examiner’s office told KSAT Monday it has yet to determine Martinez’s and the suspect’s cause and manner of death.

SAPD said its investigation is ongoing.
