Man dies after being shot in the head; at least five detained, police say

When police arrived, they found the man with a gunshot wound to the head.

SAN ANTONIO — An altercation in an apartment complex parking lot led to a shooting. It left one man in critical condition, the San Antonio Police Department said. 

Now, the Medical Examiner has confirmed that the man died. He has been identified as 30-year-old Rafael Jesus Lopez.

The shooting happened around 8:45 p.m. on Tuesday in the 3200 block of Bolmore near Dollarhide Avenue on the city's southeast side.

When police arrived, they found the man with a gunshot wound to the head.

SAPD said there was a group of approximately five people talking in the parking lot, when at some point, someone from the group shot at the victim.

The victim reportedly ran into the complex, and was chased and shot at. A bullet hit him in the head, and he was taken to a local hospital.

Authorities detained the people in the group for questioning, but are looking for a beige Hyundai Elantra that they say fled the scene shortly after the shooting.

The vehicle, police say, may be connected to the shooting. No other injuries were reported.
