SAN ANTONIO — A man is dead after he was shot west of downtown early Tuesday morning, according to police.
Officers were called out to South San Marcos at W Commerce just before 7 a.m. for reports of a shooting. It appeared that a homeless man was fatally shot one time in his chest, police say.
Police were given a description for a suspect, but say they have very limited information at this time. No weapons were found at the scene.
Police say that witnesses described hearing an argument prior to the gunshot, but no one actually saw what happened. It's also unknown if the victim and suspect knew each other.
The unidentified victim appeared to be around 30 years old, authorities said.
