SAN ANTONIO<\/strong> \u2013 There have been at least six homicides, including a shooting by an officer, so far this month in San Antonio, after a man was shot and killed during an argument with his siblings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old was transported to a hospital after 3 a.m. Friday at a North Side apartment complex on Sahara Drive, near San Pedro Avenue, according to the San Antonio Police Department. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.<\/p>\n

The shooting happened after the man pulled out a gun during the argument. Police said another person, who was present and also had a gun, shot the man, killing him.<\/p>\n

It is unclear whether anyone was arrested.<\/p>\n

The shooting comes amid an already busy month for homicide investigators.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Aug. 8, police found a 24-year-old man with a gunshot wound in his head inside a home on NW 26th Street<\/a> near Poplar Street. He later died from his wounds.<\/p>\n

Two other men were shot Tuesday morning at a Northwest Side apartment complex on Woodstone Drive<\/a>. One of them, an 18-year-old, was killed.<\/p>\n

Another man died just before midnight Monday after being shot by an SAPD officer<\/a>. Police said the 56-year-old man was armed with two knives<\/a> when an officer encountered him outside a home on Spring Front Drive, near Babcock Road, and ignored commands to put them down.<\/p>\n

Just outside the city limits on Crestway Drive, Bexar County Sheriff\u2019s investigators also found a murder case: a man shot dead August 10 while riding in a car<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The violent streak does not necessarily indicate this will be an especially violent year.<\/p>\n

SAPD figures show a slight drop in the number of murders, 59 murders so far this year compared to 68 at the same time in 2025.<\/p>\n

The picture for BCSO, though, is a bit different.<\/p>\n

As of Friday morning, the sheriff\u2019s office had 16 homicides reported, compared to 9 during the same time last year. <\/p>\n
