SAN ANTONIO — A 44-year-old woman died after a shooting at a northwest-side apartment complex Tuesday night, according to police officials still working to determine if the gunfire was in self-defense or not.
San Antonio authorities say a man and woman were arguing at the Forest Ridge Apartments along the 7800 block of Chambers when, just before 10 p.m., the man shot the woman once in the neck. He later told officers he feared for his life.
The woman, later identified as Lydia Morales, died after being taken to a local hospital.
At some point in the fight, police said, the 54-year-old man was "losing," which is when he pulled the trigger. When officers arrived, he claimed he acted out of self-defense before being detained for questioning.
Police confirmed they arrested John Grejtak, 54, in connection to this murder.
