In the aftermath, one man was severely injured and the other taken into custody by the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD).

A Grim Morning Encounter

According to police reports, the confrontation unfolded around 12:40 a.m. near I-35, in a La Quinta Inn situated in the 6400 block of Interstate 35, in close proximity to Loop 1604. The encounter escalated into violence when one of the men drew a weapon, shooting the other twice, once in the face and once in the abdomen.
