The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office is identifying a man shot and killed on the South Side

SAN ANTONIO – Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office identified a man who was shot and killed Sunday near a South Side business.

The office said Ricardo Ortiz, 30, died of multiple gunshot wounds. His death was ruled a homicide.

SAPD officers were dispatched to an after-hours business just before 3 a.m. Sunday in the 3100 block of Mission Road.

When officers and other first responders arrived, they said they found Ortiz in a vehicle with at least one apparent gunshot wound.

A SAPD sergeant at the scene told KSAT that two people were staying at the listed address where Ortiz was causing a disturbance in the parking lot.

According to SAPD’s initial investigation, Ortiz threatened to shoot people at the location and attempted to run others over with the vehicle.

The shooter, who told officers he drew his gun and shot Ortiz in self-defense, remained at the scene when officers arrived.

SAPD took the shooter into custody, but no charges have been filed against the shooter at this time.

Police also said charges may be pending against the shooter as the investigation continues.
