SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS<\/strong><\/a>\u2013 The couple at the center of a disturbance that ended with a deadly shooting on the city\u2019s Northeast side had a history of trouble, San Antonio police said.<\/p>\nOfficer Douglas Greene, a public information officer for SAPD, told reporters that police had been called previously and that at least one of those incidents recently resulted in a police report being generated.<\/p>\n
The incident late Wednesday night resulted in Daniel Veliz, 36, being shot and killed outside a home in the 15900 block of Redwoods Manor.<\/p>\n
Greene said Veliz showed up there before 10 pm. and caused a commotion.<\/p>\n
\u201c(He) confronted the ex-girlfriend. They got into a verbal altercation, which turned into a physical altercation on the front porch,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
At that point, Greene said, the woman\u2019s 59-year-old father came out of the home carrying a gun. He told officers he used it in self-defense.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re being told at some point he lunged toward the father, and that\u2019s when the father felt compelled to shoot the individual,\u201d Greene said.<\/p>\n
A police report said Veliz suffered gunshot wounds to his head, leg and upper body. He was rushed to a hospital where he died.<\/p>\n
The police report said there were children inside the home when the shooting happened. Although they did not witness the shooting, they heard everything, the report said.<\/p>\n
Officers recovered the gun involved and spent time talking to the suspected shooter, who they said shared his side of the story willingly.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis appears to be a situation of a domestic disturbance where the father stepped in to try and help his daughter,\u201d Greene said.<\/p>\n
He stressed, though, that the case is still under investigation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
