SAN ANTONIO — A young man is dead and a suspect on the run following a shootout between occupants of two vehicles on the northeast side Tuesday evening, San Antonio Police Department officials say.
According to an SAPD spokesperson, officers responded to the 100 block of Roundtree Lane – a residential area – and found the victim "in the middle of the road with two gunshot wounds." He died after being taken to a local hospital.
Witnesses told investigators that gunfire was exchanged between the victim and the occupant of another car before the latter vehicle fled the area. Officials weren't able to narrow the description down to a specific make and model, but added that they found different caliber types – that of a handgun and a rifle – at the scene.
The victim was identified only as being potentially in his late-teens or early-20s.
