SAN ANTONIO — A man was found dead on a downtown sidewalk early Sunday morning.
Police were called out to the intersection of W. Nueva and S. Flores just before 2 a.m. for a welfare check on what a passerby said was a body laying on the downtown sidewalk just two blocks from the River Walk, and mere steps from the Bexar County Justice Center.
When officers arrived they discovered a 20-year-old man laying dead at the intersection.
A passerby had called police to say they thought the man may be dead and that people were taking photos of him as they passed.
Police said that they are not sure how the man died, but they believe it was due to a head injury of some sort, and he bled out at the location he was found.
Police searched the area inside the parking garage and found a 28-year-old suspect with a firearm, and took him to the police station for further questioning.
SAPD is working with BCSO to get surveillance video of the alleged attack. No other information was available.
