A man is dead after being shot in the chest at a South Side motel, according to San Antonio police.
The shooting happened around 12:20 a.m. July 20 at the Capital Motel in the 6600 block of South Flores Street, not far from Southeast Military Drive and Harlandale Park.
The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office has identified Cody Mayfield, 28, as the victim with a gunshot wound to the chest, found laying on an upstairs walkway.
Police said Mayfield had gone to the motel with his girlfriend to meet a friend when they were approached by several unknown young adults or juveniles. That’s when, police say, he began to argue with the suspects and one of them pulled out a gun and shot the victim in the chest.
Mayfield was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said the suspects fled into a nearby neighborhood. Officers arrived and searched for them, but they have not been found.
SAPD also did not say what the argument was about.
The San Antonio Police Department, the San Antonio Fire Department and EMS all responded to the call.
The investigation is ongoing, police said.
