According to officers at the scene, they were responding to an automatic alert that was sent out by the man’s cell phone. They say when his phone hit the ground, it triggered a message indicating that he had been involved in a crash.
Paramedics initially thought he had been hit by a vehicle, police said.
However, as they were attempting to perform CPR on him, they discovered that he had several bullet holes in his back, police said.
Officers determined that he was the victim of a murder, not a hit-and-run crash.
At the scene, police said they had not made any arrests and had no leads on the shooter.
As of late Wednesday morning, staff at the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office were still working to positively identify the man.
