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

SAN ANTONIO – Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office identified a man who was shot 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 office in the 3100 block of Mission Road just before 3 a.m. Sunday.

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 on scene told KSAT that two individuals were loitering 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 over others with their vehicles.

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

SAPD has arrested the shooter, but at this time no charges have been filed against the shooter.

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