SAN ANTONIO — Two men are recovering from gunshot wounds following a shooting Sunday night at an apartment complex on the West Side.

San Antonio police responded to the incident in the 1700 block of South Hamilton Avenue around 9 p.m.

When police arrived, they found one man lying injured outside the apartment and one man injured inside the apartment, according to police.

The San Antonio Police Department later identified the man in the apartment as Ruben Reyes, 36. The man found outside was identified as Daniel Gonzalez, 22, police said, adding he was just passing by at the time of the shooting.

SAPD lieutenant Brian Reyes said that police are looking for between four and five men wearing all black who fled the scene in a black sedan in an unknown direction.

The suspects knocked on Reyes’ door calling his name, police said.

An exchange of gunfire then ensued.

Weapons involved in the exchange possibly included a handgun and a shotgun.

Shotgun shells could be seen strewn about the road by the intersection of South Hamilton Avenue and Ceralvo.

“It's a wide crime scene, indicating shots may have been returned,” Reyes said.

An initial motive for the shooting is unknown, he said.

Both victims were transported to a nearby hospital in non-life threatening injuries.
