Police investigating deadly shooting at west-side gas station

Police say the suspect and the victim got into an argument inside the gas station. The shooting happened just outside the convenience store, police say.

SAN ANTONIO — At least a dozen police, fire and medical units surrounded a west-side gas station Tuesday night after a reported shooting. According to San Antonio Fire Department, one person was killed. He has been identified as 18-year-old Alfonso Diaz.

Police believe the shooter was behind the victim in line inside the Texaco gas station. They say an argument possibly happened outside afterward. Diaz was shot three to five times. He stumbled toward his car and collapsed.

According to police, the suspect is a Latino man who is in his early 20s. They said he fled on a skateboard. Police are asking for the public's help in identifying a person of interest caught on camera at the food mart.

The parking lot of the Texaco station was roped off with yellow tape as police investigated the scene. That's at the corner of Cupples Road and Castroville Road, across the street from San Fernando Cemetery II. Police were speaking to four witnesses, including a friend of the victim.

Police said they would pull surveillance video from inside the food mart to see if they can get a clear image of the suspect.
