San Antonio Doctor Shot, Hospitalized

Dr. Jonathan Desposorio, a 30-year-old physician with UT Health San Antonio, is currently hospitalized in critical condition after being shot while walking his dog near downtown San Antonio early Wednesday morning.

Details of the Incident

The shooting occurred near the intersection of Euclid and Evergreen streets, close to Dr. Desposorio’s residence and workplace. San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) officers responded to the scene and transported him to Brooke Army Medical Center.

Investigation Underway

Authorities are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting and working to identify potential suspects. The motive remains unknown, but initial findings suggest robbery was not the primary driver, as Dr. Desposorio’s phone and wallet were still with him.
