SAN ANTONIO — One woman was found with multiple gunshot wounds after a shooting at a local convenience store outside the downtown area Saturday evening, according to San Antonio Police.
The incident occurred at the Pik Nik on the 900 block of Guadalupe Street on Saturday around 6 p.m.
Witnesses tell police that a verbal argument led to the shooting between the woman and several young people inside a grey sedan. Officials allege the driver of the sedan eventually shot the woman and drove off toward El Paso Street.
In an affidavit, the suspect was identified as Jeremiah Joe Anthony Villareal, 20, and the victim was identified as Esmeralda Salas, 24.
Police say the shooting started because it was believed that Salas had taken a pair of shoes from one of the group members during a burglary.
Villareal is charged with the murder of Salas.
