Police say weapon was not found at the crime scene

SAN ANTONIO – A man was found with a gunshot wound to the head Saturday evening inside a West Side home, according to the San Antonio Police Department.

Police found the man inside a locked bedroom while responding to the shooting around 7:15 p.m. in the 1500 block of NW 26th Street.

Officers at the scene told KSAT the man suffered a gunshot wound to the head, though that detail was not included in SAPD’s Sunday preliminary report. No weapon was recovered at the scene.

The 24-year-old man suffered major injuries and was taken to a local hospital, according to the report.

It is unclear who might have been involved or if it was self-inflicted, police told KSAT.

The report states police have not identified anyone in connection with the shooting, and it is unknown what led up to the shooting.

The investigation is ongoing.
