The 28-year-old woman was sitting outside at Smoke Skybar when she was hit by a bullet in her upper back.
SAN ANTONIO — The woman who died after being shot in the back while sitting outside at a downtown patio bar early Tuesday morning has been identified as a Jasper ISD cheer coach, the district said in a statement.
San Antonio Police responded to the 500 block of East Crockett around 12:15 a.m. for reports of a shooting.
When officers arrived, they found 28-year-old Ayden Burt had been shot in her upper back while sitting outside on the patio of Smoke Skybar.
Officers determined that Burt was seated on the upper level of the patio bar with her back to the highway when a gun shot was heard from the vicinity of I-37, which ended up hitting her.
Burt was taken to BAMC in critical condition, but sadly died from her injuries.
SAPD Chief of Police William McManus said Burt was in town for a conference when she was struck by a bullet that officials believe came from the highway. She was the only one injured.
Police have no suspect and don’t know why Burt was shot.
