San Antonio police continued to look for two of the suspects, including the shooter, as of early Friday. The car\u2019s driver was apprehended.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p>The shooting apparently started as a dispute and fight involving several people. Police also detained several individuals at the house. EMTs treated the victim at the crime scene, but he passed away. He was not identified in initial police reports.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The victim was wounded in the head and stomach. He died at the crime scene, located on the city\u2019s southwest side. He was described as being in his 30s.<\/p>\n<p>Police also located several eight-liner machines inside the residence.<\/p>\n<p>Similar machines have been found in recent gaming raids in San Antonio and elsewhere in Bexar County. An eight-liner resembles a slot machine. Depending on the type, a player \u201cwins\u201d if a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row of objects lines up.<\/p>\n<h2>Gambling Raids<\/h2>\n<p>In October, two dozen people were detained, and some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/70-eight-liners-seized-in-san-antonio-gambling-raids-dozens-detained-in-texas\/\">70 gaming machines<\/a> were confiscated after two raids in San Antonio.<\/p>\n<p>Weapons were located at both sites as well. Apprehended suspects included \u201carmed personnel\u201d at both locations, authorities said. They were apparently there to stand guard. Some suspected illegal drugs were spotted too, and deputies searched for more narcotics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Both raids took place on the city\u2019s west side. At least one of the gaming operations was located behind a locked gate. The Bexar County Sheriff\u2019s Office SWAT team had to ram through the gate to gain entry to the site.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In May, more than $15K and an estimated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/100-eight-liner-machines-over-15k-seized-in-san-antonio-texas-gambling-raid\/\">100 eight-liner gaming machines<\/a> were commandeered by sheriff\u2019s deputies during a raid on the city\u2019s south side. At least two weapons were seized during the May raid, along with bags containing cash. One bag held about $15K. Some of the money was stored in an on-site ATM and safe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A man was shot and killed Thursday night inside a San Antonio, Texas, home.
