San Antonio police are focusing on a black Toyota 4Runner that was reported stolen after it was used in a fatal shooting at the Woodhill Apartments on the Northwest Side. The incident occurred just after midnight on Tuesday, when three suspects drove the vehicle into the complex parking lot and opened fire inside a unit.
Victims and evidence
Initial reports indicated a 25‑year‑old man had been killed, but later information from News 4 San Antonio clarified that the deceased was an 18‑year‑old male. A second 18‑year‑old was also shot inside the same unit; he survived and is expected to recover.
Investigators recovered multiple shell casings at the scene, confirming that both a handgun and a rifle were used during the attack. The suspects fled the scene before officers arrived.
Vehicle connection
The San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) says the 4Runner was reported stolen prior to the shooting. While the vehicle’s registration and ownership details have not been released, police believe the stolen SUV was the primary means of transport for the assailants.
Detectives are reviewing surveillance footage from the apartment complex and surrounding streets to identify the three individuals who remain at large. No motive for the shooting has been disclosed at this time.

City Council members have previously discussed public‑safety initiatives for the Northwest Side, but no specific actions have been announced in response to this shooting.
