SAN ANTONIO — A man was shot right outside his west-side home after getting into an argument with someone in a passing car, according to police.
San Antonio Police were called out to the 3500 block of El Paso Street near Castroville Road just before 9 p.m. for reports of a shooting in progress.
When officers arrived they found a gunshot victim with a single wound to his stomach. The 53-year-old victim was taken to the University Hospital and is expected to recover.
Police say that two men were working on a vehicle outside their west-side home when a black vehicle pulled up to them and some sort of verbal altercation took place.
The suspect or suspects in the black vehicle only fired a single shot and fled the scene prior to police arrival. Police say the victim says he did not know the people inside the black car.
The case remains under investigation.
