San Antonio police are looking for those connected to a shooting outside an East Side residence that left three people hospitalized.

Just after midnight on Friday, SAPD patrol officers radioed in that they heard multiple shots fired near the intersection of Houston and Walters streets. Shortly after, a Department of Public Safety helicopter started following a vehicle leaving the area at a high rate of speed, SAPD said.

The helicopter followed the vehicle to the San Antonio Military Medical Center, where police found a 28-year-old woman inside suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the arm and chest. Police then received reports that another shooting victim, a 28-year-old man, showed up at Santa Rosa Children’s Hospital with gunshot wounds to his right arm and chest. He was later flown to University Hospital in critical condition. A third victim, a 35-year-old man, was taken to Metro Hospital in stable condition with a gunshot wound to his armpit.

Officers located a crime scene near the 1900 block of Crockett Street, where they found numerous shell casings and pools of blood on the sidewalk. There was also a van parked on the street nearby with a bullet hole, and a black Chevy Impala — that was still running — was located on the next street over on Center Street with multiple bullet holes.

A witness said about three hours prior to the shooting, there was an argument outside a residence on Crockett Street that had occurred with an unknown group of people that had left the location in a white SUV.

Police are searching for anyone who may have been involved in the incident.
