SAN ANTONIO — SAN ANTONIO - Police said a man was found beaten to death in an east-side home, but it's not clear what led up to his death.

His body was found around 1 a.m. Friday in the 1400 block of North Onslow Street.

According to the San Antonio Police Department, officers received a call to report an assault at that address and arrived to find a woman running out to meet them.

SAPD said the woman claimed she got into a fight with the victim and told them she "thinks he's dead" before they entered the home.

The man was found unresponsive, and police told KENS 5 at the scene he had been beaten with a hammer. He suffered blunt force trauma to the head.
