From the San Antonio Express News:
22 -year-old man was shot and killed on his front lawn during a party early Tuesday morning.
It happened around 3 a.m. in the 5400 block of Kensington Run.
According to police, a fight broke out as some partygoers were leaving the party.
Police said that the victim took a baseball bat to one of the cars. Then, 23-year-old Ian Van Buren pulled out a 9 mm handgun and shot the victim in the chest — the victim died on the front lawn of the home.
Police caught the suspect a short time later and charged him with murder. He is being held on $500,000 bail.
While the police still don't have a motive, they said the suspect had marijuana in his car at some point, and that may have played a role.
