Man accused of shooting, killing cousin

Police say the suspect and numerous other family members were in front of the house arguing prior to the shooting.

SAN ANTONIO — A man was taken to the hospital in critical condition after being shot in the head by his cousin, an official with the San Antonio Police Department said. 

The shooting victim, who has since been identified as Kristopher Carraman, 23, has passed away, according to an official with the Medical Examiner's Office. 

Just after 11 p.m. Friday, officers were called out to a shooting in the 1800 block of W Pyron Avenue. 

At the scene, officers found Carramn with a gunshot wound to the head. 

According to an official with SAPD, the suspect and numerous other family members were in front of the house arguing, when things turned violent. 

A man, a cousin of Carraman's, was driving away, when he reportedly fired multiple shots out of a car at the crowd of family members, hitting Carraman once in the head, according to a spokesman with SAPD. 

The suspect then drove off from the scene and was found in the area within the hour. 

It is unclear if any arrests have been made at this time.
