Neighbor wonders if gunshots that killed man may have been intended for someone else

Local NewsSan Antonio police said a man was walking toward his home in the 1600 block of W. French Place when someone in a black sedan or SUV began firing shots around 5 a.m.– A neighbor said she wonders if gunshots that hit and killed a man in his home northwest of downtown early Monday may have been intended for someone else.

The man, whose identity has not been released, was 61 years old, according to the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office.San Antonio police said the man was walking toward his home in the 1600 block of W. French Place when someone in a black sedan or SUV began firing shots around 5 a.m. The man had just enough time to run inside and warn others in the home before he was hit by bullets that pierced his walls, police said.

“He was an innocent bystander, coming home from dropping off his wife, and it’s sad,” a neighbor who identified herself only as “Irma” said.They said they had not determined who shot the man or why; however, investigators did find out that the shooter fired at least ten shots. Yellow evidence markers mapped out the shell casings that police found at the scene. “Irma,” meanwhile, says she slept through it all.“She said she heard ‘bang, bang, bang,’ but she thought, literally, somebody was banging on somebody’s door,” Irma said. “All the cop cars right here, blocking in front of my house. And then I found out somebody got shot in the head.”They also spent time interviewing witnesses in the neighborhood.
