SAN ANTONIO \u2013 A Northwest Side business where a clerk was stabbed to death early Friday<\/a> had been under surveillance for several weeks earlier this year, according to San Antonio Police Department data obtained by KSAT.<\/p>\n

Police made dozens of visits to the store in the 4000 block of Medical Drive between January and March, for what the department listed as \u201cCrime Plan-High Visibility.\u201d<\/p>\n

These visits are intended to deter crime in areas with a high volume of calls, according to SAPD\u2019s public information office.<\/p>\n

Prior to the deterrance calls, the data shows more than 100 calls for police service were made at Classic Mart and 420 Shop, which appears to be a combined convenience store and smoke shop, including disturbances, some involving guns, and holdup alarms.<\/p>\n

Police said they received the call about the recent stabbing around 1 a.m. Friday, however, it originally came in as a shooting.<\/p>\n

When officers arrived, they found the 25-year-old clerk with multiple stab wounds, which ultimately led to his death.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I found out, it was crazy,\u201d said Domanick Turley, who works at a neighboring business. \u201cFrom what I know, he didn\u2019t have no problems with no one. Everyone who went in there at night, they liked him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Turley said he got to know the victim fairly well because they both worked the overnight shift at their respective businesses.<\/p>\n

Police said it appears the worker was killed during some sort of disagreement. <\/p>\n

Within hours, they said they developed leads on who the suspect might be.<\/p>\n

Officers later surrounded an apartment across the street from the murder scene, then began calling people out of the particular unit.<\/p>\n

Mark Pollard, who lives in a nearby apartment, says he woke up to the commotion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw all the dogs barking and the guns drawn,\u201d he said. \u201cI started recording to see what was going on, and I couldn\u2019t even come to the end of the rail. The cops were telling me to stand back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pollard said he was surprised and a bit shaken to see the trouble so close to the place that he and his family call home.<\/p>\n

The video he shared with KSAT shows officers ordering people to slowly walk backwards out of the apartment with their fingers interlaced behind their heads.<\/p>\n

Police ended up taking several people into custody for questioning.<\/p>\n

Later, a homicide detective told KSAT 12 a 17-year-old boy had been arrested as a suspect in the murder.<\/p>\n

As of Friday afternoon, police had not released any names of the suspect or the victim. <\/p>\n
