After Sunday’s gun fight between two groups of teens near Hemisfair Park, that killed an 80-year-old, police said there's no plans for more police presence.
Sunday night’s gunfight that broke out between two groups of teens near Hemisfair Park, and killed an 80-year-old woman“We’ve seen this happen too many times, the last time over at Market Square,” said San Antonio Police Chief William McManus.
We asked him if this incident, along with several others so far in 2024, would result in additional patrols. “There’s a distinction between a hotspot and random acts occurring in a particular area. There’s nothing organized about these offenses that happened, if we had an organized group of individuals who were shooting it out on a regular basis, that changes the dynamic of it,” said Chief McManus.
“It is concerning because Hemisfair has such a nice reputation of being a family-friendly area but to know that people are getting shot and dying around here, I really feel like it could hurt businesses,” said Clarise Clay-Benitez, Manager at Commonwealth Coffeehouse & Bakery.
