SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio Police are on the lookout for a black Toyota Corolla as they search for a man who they said shot his friend in the head after trying to rob him Tuesday night on the city's East Side.

SAPD Lt. Scott Bell said the suspect shot the man, 23, in the head while in the victim's Hummer on Spriggsdale Boulevard.

“The suspect... was in the vehicle with the victim, demanded everything and shot him in the head,” Bell said. “He left afterward in a black Toyota Corolla.”

Bell said the injured man drove himself down the street to a house in the 400 block of Como Street, where police arrived to find him on the ground.

The man was transported to SAMMC in critical condition, Bell said, adding that the bullet did not penetrate his skull.

The two had originally left the house on Como street together in the Hummer.

Police are still investigating the scene.
