SAN ANTONIO \u2013 A 17-year-old boy died Thursday morning after he was found with a gunshot wound to his chest on the West Side, according to San Antonio police. <\/p>\n
Officers initially responded to a call for a burglary of a vehicle around 12:30 a.m. in the 5900 block of Monica Place, which is located near Culebra and Callaghan roads. <\/p>\n
Upon arrival, officers said they saw a group of people in the street. <\/p>\n
The group told SAPD that the teen was burglarizing vehicles and they left him behind because they didn\u2019t want anything to do with that. <\/p>\n
As officers were on the scene, police said that gunshots and a car alarm were heard towards the 1400 block of Melissa Sue. <\/p>\n
Officers relocated to the sound of the shots and found the teen lying in the middle of the street with a gunshot wound to his upper body, SAPD said. <\/p>\n
Police said the boy was wearing a ski mask and had a 30-round Glock magazine next to him.<\/p>\n
Multiple people fled from the scene on foot, SAPD said. Officers were unable to locate or identify those who fled. <\/p>\n
The teenager was taken to a local hospital where he would later be pronounced dead, police stated. <\/p>\n
Authorities are still working to determine who shot the teenager and whether any others were involved.<\/p>\n
The city does not have a curfew for teens because state law bars cities from implementing them. <\/p>\n
