SAPD: Man involved in 'pepper-spraying incident' Wednesday night found dead the morning after

A puppy was also found dead next to the body. Police say the puppy had been pepper sprayed.

SAN ANTONIO — Police have found a man dead the morning after they say he was involved in a disturbance.

At about 7 p.m. Wednesday night, police were called to the area of Dreamwood Drive and Fountainwood Drive for a disturbance.

A man in his early 30s was reportedly "rolling on the ground drunk." Police later described it as a "pepper-spraying incident." There might have been more disturbances later in the night.

At about 6:30 a.m. Thursday morning, almost 12 hours after the first call, police were called again to the same area for an injured sick person.

When police arrived, they found that same man dead with what EMS says are tire marks on his torso. They say he "might have been run over."

Police are calling it a "suspicious death." They aren't sure if it was accidental or intentional, nor if it was connected to the incident the night before.

They also found a dead puppy next to the body. Police say the puppy was pepper sprayed, which is something the man was reportedly doing the night before. They're not sure if the pepper spraying caused the puppy's death.

Three people, including the owner of the home the victim lives in, are currently being interviewed by police.

This is a developing story and we will continue to update this article as we learn more.
