A man apparently shot himself to death following a domestic dispute early Thursday, police said.
Officers were summoned to the 400 block of Calhoun Street at 1:50 a.m. in response to a domestic disturbance call, police spokesman Matt Porter said.
Once there, they found a man identified by the Bexar County Medical Examiner's office as Luis Hinojosa, 29, dead inside the small, wood frame East Side home.
“The victim made a threat that he would shoot himself if the girlfriend left, and he followed through on his threat,” Porter said.
A woman said to be the man's girlfriend was in the home, as were two children, Porter said. They were uninjured.
“While en route to the scene, officers were notified that the victim had shot himself in the head,” Porter said. “EMS pronounced him dead at the scene.”
Investigators said Hinojosa arrived home late and apparently had been drinking. Neighbors told police they heard arguing from inside the residence, followed by what sounded like a struggle shortly before a single gunshot..
Police were listing the death as an apparent suicide pending completion of the autopsy.
