San Antonio police are trying to unravel the events leading to the shooting death of a 15-year-old boy Saturday morning on the city's South Side.

According to police, Sonny Vidales burst into the bedroom of a sleeping relative at a home in the 300 block of Adolph Street about 1:45 a.m. claiming he had been shot.

Vidales then collapsed and the family called authorities. When officers responded they found the young man still unresponsive. Emergency Medical Service personnel were unsuccessful in their attempts to revive Vidales and he was pronounced dead at the scene, according to police.

The Bexar County Medical Examiner later identified Vidales and ruled his death a homicide as a result from gunshot wounds to his chest and abdomen.

Police say occupants of the home told officers they heard no shots fired within the house. It is still unknown where the shooting occurred.

Homicide detectives continue to investigate.
