SAN ANTONIO – At least one person was reported critically injured Wednesday night when a gunman opened fire on people at a vigil along Highway 281, just north of downtown.

The shooting was reported around 8:15 p.m. along 281 near Hildebrand Avenue.

San Antonio police shut down all northbound lanes of 281 near the scene for several hours. Video from Sky 12 shows traffic backed up more than three miles, as drivers were forced to exit at Hildebrand.

Police said they do have someone detained in connection to the incident.

For the last three nights people have been gathering at the scene where Luis Arista died.

Arista, 36, was driving Saturday morning when his car crashed into the highway overpass on Highway 281 at Hildebrand Avenue, causing the vehicle to flip onto its side and catch fire.
