A 16-Year-Old Was Found Shot to Death on San Antonio's East Side, and the Shooter Remains at Large
Officers responding on the East Side found a teenager lying in the roadway with a gunshot wound to the upper body, KENS 5 reported Saturday morning; WOAI reported the victim was 16 and that the shooter remains at large. Police have released no name, and the reports read this cycle give no street address.
A teenager is dead after a shooting on San Antonio's East Side, in the first fatal incident the Local Desk's public-safety check found on this Halloween Saturday. When officers arrived, they found the teenager lying in the roadway with a gunshot wound to the upper body, KENS 5 reported Saturday morning (posted 9:06 a.m.). WOAI News 4, reporting the same incident, said the victim was 16 years old and that the shooter remains at large.
That is the confirmed core, and the desk is publishing only that core. Neither report read this cycle names the victim — a name publishes here only when police release it officially — and neither gives a street address, a time of the shooting beyond Saturday morning's reporting, a suspect description, or a motive. What officials have not confirmed, this story does not assert: details are still coming from officials, and the desk will update the file as SAPD releases them.
The shooting lands on a day the department had already staffed for: with Halloween falling on a Saturday, San Antonio police prepared for a busy night of parties, trick-or-treating and heavy traffic with all substations fully staffed, KSAT reported Friday. Anyone with information about the East Side shooting is asked to contact San Antonio police. The desk's standing incident check this cycle also scanned Bexar County Sheriff's Office, San Antonio Fire Department, DPS and TxDOT San Antonio incident reporting; no other fatal or serious-injury incident inside San Antonio or Bexar County was verified in this cycle's window.
