SAN ANTONIO — Police shut down part of I-35 South after a man was found dead in his car Wednesday with a gunshot wound to his abdomen after a crash on the highway.
A San Antonio Police officer at the scene said calls came in around 4:30 for a traffic accident on I-35 South just south of Binz-Engleman Road.
EMS arrived at the scene first and found a man in his 20s in the vehicle with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene, and police shut down the highway for several hours to investigate.
The Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office has identified the victim as Andrew Jacob Rangel, 29, of San Antonio.
Police said that anyone traveling south on I-35 in that area between 4:25 and 4:35 p.m. who may have witnessed the shooting or have dashcam footage should contact SAPD. Investigators do not have anything to share about a suspect or suspect vehicle.
Police are unsure whether the victim was targeted by someone who knew him or was a random road rage incident. Police said that the driver was the only person in the car, and that multiple shots hit the car, but it's not yet clear how many shots hit the victim.
According to the officer, it appears that the victim crashed into another vehicle, then the center median, then a tree on the side of the road where the car came to rest.
