A 28-year-old woman was shot and killed by her wheelchair-bound boyfriend Thursday morning in the 4200 block of First View Drive on San Antonio's North East Side, police said.

A 31-year-old man was taken into custody in connection with the shooting but has not been formally charged, Police Sgt. Ramiro Juarez told reporters.

Juarez said the suspect was found on top of the victim, who sustained one gunshot wound to the upper chest, when officers arrived at the scene.

The man's sister, who is staying at the house, called police around 10:25 a.m. Officers took her from the scene for questioning, Juarez said.

The victim was taken to University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

The suspect was later taken to the same hospital to undergo treatment related to a recent surgery, Juarez said. He said the suspect was placed in a secure room.

Juarez said the suspect has past felony convictions.
