SAN ANTONIO — A 15-year-old boy was shot and killed in far west Bexar County, police said. It happened around 11:30 p.m. Sunday on Alpine Shore near Fossil Banks.
The Bexar County Sheriff's Office said it started as a fight between the teen in the street and another person in a car. The victim was earlier identified as a man, but BCSO later said he was a teenager.
At some point, shots were fired and the teen in the street was hit, officials said. He died at the scene.
Deputies said details are limited right now, but they're trying to get more information from witnesses.
The suspect fled from the scene in an unknown vehicle, investigators said.
BCSO released information on Monday about a possible motive.
"At this time it is believed that the shooting stemmed from a drug deal gone bad," according to a preliminary report.
There's also a push to gather more details from anyone who may have knowledge of what happened, investigators said.
"Homicide investigators are actively working the investigation and are asking the public who may have any information or surveillance footage pertaining to this incident, contact the BCSO by emailing BCSOTIPS@bexar.org or call BCSO Dispatch at (210)335-6000 — you can remain anonymous."
