SAN ANTONIO — One man is now dead after being shot in a road rage incident on the northwest side, according to SAPD.
Around 6 p.m. on Tuesday, SAPD responded to the 6700 block of Spring Hurst Drive after receiving reports of a shooting at a nearby bus stop.
A 41-year-old man was found lying on the street with multiple gunshot wounds to the upper torso. Another man, 46, was also at the location and was detained with no injuries.
The injured man was taken to the hospital in critical condition. Police say he was later pronounced dead at the hospital. The man who ended up dying has been identified as the suspect.
Police say that both men were having a verbal altercation on the road while driving, then followed each other to the intersection of Springtime and Spring Hurst.
The suspect stopped his vehicle and opened his trunk. Police say the victim saw the firearm the suspect was holding and reportedly shot the suspect with his own weapon. The suspect was hit multiple times.
A firearm was located on the suspect and was recovered. The victim’s weapon was also recovered.
The victim is cooperating with the investigation, and it is unclear what charges, if any, he faces. Police initially said that he acted in self-defense.
This is an ongoing investigation. KENS 5 will update this story when more information becomes available.
