A 17-year-old girl lost her life she was shot during a heated dispute. The fatal shooting occurred shortly after 4 a.m. on Thursday along Streich Road, near Interstate 37, in Far Southeast Bexar County.
When deputies arrived at the scene, they discovered the teenage victim suffering from a gunshot wound to her chest. Despite the attention of paramedics who treated her on-site, the young girl succumbed to her injuries.
According to investigators, the dispute had its origins in a feud between two groups, with threats being exchanged on social media. The situation escalated when a group of six individuals arrived at an Elmendorf home, and tensions quickly flared as weapons were brandished.
Deputies reported that a 15-year-old suspect produced a firearm and discharged a round into the air. At that point, the 17-year-old girl reportedly advanced toward the 15-year-old with a bat. The 15-year-old fired her weapon for a second time, striking the older teen in the chest and resulting in her untimely death.
At present, an ongoing investigation is underway, and no charges have been filed in connection with the incident.
