SAN ANTONIO — Police are searching for a suspect who shot and killed a woman who was riding in the back of an SUV after an argument at an east-side bar.
Police responded to the 800 block of Hammond Avenue off S. New Braunfels around 12:17 a.m. Monday for reports of a shooting in progress, saying they had a hard time locating the victim.

The suspect followed the SUV and fired off several shots, hitting the 28-year-old, who was sitting in the back seat.
Police are still trying to sort out additional information on this incident.
There is no information on the suspects.
