San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said the shooting appears to be related to a domestic issue between a current boyfriend of an employee at the motel and a past boyfriend.

Both men arrived at the hotel and began shooting at each other from a distance of about 3 feet, McManus said.

"One was hit and one wasn't," he said.

McManus said security camera footage will help police in the investigation.

The shooting marks the third fatal shooting on the East Side in three days. On Wednesday, 4-year-old De-Earlvion Whitley was shot in the head in a drive-by shooting in the 200 block of Hub Avenue. On Thursday evening, 43-year-old Jose Martinez was fatally shot in the neck at his home in the 100 block of Northgate Drive.

The call for the shooting also came just hours after a man was shot in the head and chest about four miles away in the 6900 block of Glendora Avenue. Police said a gunman jumped out of a moving Cadillac, shot the man and then fled with multiple other suspects in the vehicle.
