Police: Teens shot attempting to steal during meetup to buy jewelry - mySanAntonio.com

SAN ANTONIO - A meeting to sell a necklace ended with two teens both shot in the leg Tuesday evening on the North Side.

San Antonio Police Department Sgt. Robert Perez said the teens, ages 14 and 15, met two men in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 8500 block of Ahern Drive, across the street from North Star Mall.

The teens had met the seller using Offerup, a smartphone application used to buy and sell items, and arranged to buy the necklace, police said.

The seller parked a red truck in front of the apartments and met with the teens, Perez said.

Investigators said it appears the teens tried to steal the necklace.

That’s when a passenger with the seller shot at the teens, Perez said.

“Both of them were shot in the right leg,” Perez said.

They were taken to University Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, police said.

“Everyone’s being cooperative ... we’re just trying to sort out if any charges are going to be filed,” Perez said.

He then urged caution to people who plan to buy or sell items using social media.

“Meet at the police station,” Perez said. “There’s no reason to meet in a secluded area where it’s dark. You’re just taking your own safety at risk.”
