SAN ANTONIO — One man is dead and another is in critical condition after police say they exchanged gunfire at a northside apartment complex.
SAPD received a call for a shooting in progress around 4:45 p.m. Saturday afternoon.
When officers arrived, they found the two wounded men.
Police say the two knew each other and it appears that one of the men tried to rob the other one, both pulling out weapons and firing at each other.
Both men were taken to the hospital where one of the men who had been shot in the torso, died from his injuries. That man has been identified as Eddie Levan Kearse.
The second is in critical condition.
This is an ongoing investigation.
