Teen shot in NW Side Whataburger parking lot

Shooting reported at 10:30 p.m. Thursday at De Zavala near I-10 location

SAN ANTONIO – A 17-year-old boy was shot in the leg outside a Northwest Side Whataburger late Thursday night, San Antonio police said.

According to police, the teen and another person pulled into the restaurant parking lot at De Zavala Road near Interstate 10 around 10:20 p.m., when a blue Ford SUV drove up behind them. As the victim was getting out of his vehicle, one of the suspects got out of the SUV and pointed a gun, demanding the victim's backpack, police said. 

The victim surrendered his backpack, and that's when the suspect shot him one time in the leg, police said. The victim was taken to University Hospital with a non-life-threatening wound.

The suspects fled the scene and no arrests have been made.
