SAN ANTONIO — Police believe a "lover's quarrel" might've led to a shooting and car chase on the North Side on Thursday.

Officer's first responded around 10:30 a.m. to the shooting on a Loop 410 access road near San Pedro Avenue, where they found a silver BMW crashed into a green Honda sedan.

The BMW had been abandoned, but the vehicle's owner was located at a nearby Taco Cabana.

The driver told police that he and another passenger had been driving by the Allstars Gentlemen’s Club near Wurzbach Road and Interstate 10, when a woman waved them down.

"This guy can't believe his luck," said Sgt. Ramiro Juarez. "He's like 'Man, a good lookin' girl just flagged me down.’"

Juarez said the driver let the woman into the back of his car and they left the club, but as they were getting onto the access road of I-10, he noticed a gray Honda backing up toward him.

The driver of the gray Honda pulled up next to him and flashed a gun. The BMW driver sped off, hearing gunshots ring out behind him, the sergeant said.

The suspect chased him for several miles, until the BMW driver eventually crashed near Park North mall, where police found the vehicle.

Witnesses said they saw the BMW driver and another passenger take off running, and the woman get into the gray Honda, which fled the scene.

Juarez said the incident might've been caused by a dispute between the suspect and the woman that escalated when she got in a stranger's car.

"Witnesses heard lots of yelling," Juarez said. "It could be a 'lover's quarrel' situation."

Police are currently investigating the shooting.
