Two Separate San Antonio Shootings Leave Two Dead and Teen Critically Hurt

Police describe a rooftop struggle over a drawn gun downtown, with a separate West Side killing unresolved.

Overview

  • Police say a man was pronounced dead at the Rivercenter Parking Garage rooftop just after 1:20 a.m. Sunday, and an 18-year-old was taken to a hospital in critical condition as a 16-year-old was treated for a graze wound.
  • According to SAPD, a confrontation between two groups led to a gun being drawn and a struggle that caused the weapon to discharge, striking multiple people.
  • Several people were detained in the downtown case, investigators identified male suspects ages 18, 17 and 16, and a firearm was recovered, but no arrests have been announced.
  • SAPD noted that some individuals detained after the parking garage shooting were uncooperative with investigators, and the case remains active.
  • In a separate West Side incident early Saturday, a 35-year-old man was shot during an argument at an apartment complex and later died at Brooke Army Medical Center, and the suspected shooter fled as tactical teams later cleared a nearby apartment without finding a suspect.
