SAN ANTONIO — The search is on for a suspect who San Antonio police say shot an 18-year-old who was walking on the sidewalk.

It happened at around 10:45 p.m. Thursday night on Woodstone Dr. near I-10 on the north side.

The small silver car was occupied by four men, who sped off immediately after the shooting, according to the victim. Police say the man left a long trail of blood from the front of the complex, all the way to his apartment, where he was able to call for help.

The victim was taken to the hospital in unknown condition.
