San Antonio police are searching for a 21-year-old woman accused of shooting a patron at Club Sirius Saturday night, leaving another woman with life-threatening injuries.
According to the San Antonio Police Department, officers were already in the area around 10 p.m. Saturday — coinciding with the Spurs-Knicks Game 5 — when they heard gunfire near Club Sirius in the 200 block of Losoya Street.
A preliminary SAPD report states the suspect had been causing a disturbance inside Club Sirius before being removed from the business. She then tried to get into a nearby business but was turned away at the door.
Police said the woman left the area, got into a white sedan, and fired shots toward the location before driving off. A 28-year-old woman inside the bar was struck in the back and remains in critical condition as of Sunday morning, according to police.
Officers at the scene told KSAT they have identified the suspects and are actively searching for them, though the report indicates no arrests had been made as of Sunday morning. The investigation remains ongoing.

When a person is shot while inside a bar or club, the search for accountability often extends beyond the person who pulled the trigger. Texas attorney Michael Haggard discusses the legal questions victims and their families may want to consider, including when a business can be held responsible for failing to prevent violence on its property, what evidence matters most in the days after a shooting, and how long victims have to act.
Editor Darla Medina: When someone is shot at a bar or club through no fault of their own, what legal options do they typically have?
Attorney Michael Haggard: The first thing people need to understand is that the shooter isn't always the only party who can be held responsible. If a venue failed to provide adequate security, failed to screen people entering, or didn't respond appropriately to a disturbance before it escalated, that business may share liability for what happened afterward.
Medina: How does a victim determine whether a business had a duty to prevent something like this?
Haggard: Courts generally look at whether the danger was foreseeable. Had there been prior incidents at that location? Were there visible warning signs before the shooting, like a person being removed for causing a disturbance? If a business knew or should have known that a situation was escalating and didn't take reasonable steps to protect patrons, that can form the basis of a negligent security claim.
Medina: What kind of evidence is important to preserve early on?
Haggard: Surveillance footage is probably the most important. Bars and clubs often only retain video for a limited window before it's overwritten, so getting that preserved quickly matters. Incident reports, witness statements, security staffing records, and any history of police calls to that address can also be significant.
Medina: For someone recovering from a serious injury, what should their first steps be?
Haggard: Focus on medical care first. But as soon as possible, victims or their families should consult with an attorney who can send preservation letters to the business, request records, and start an independent investigation. Insurance companies and businesses sometimes move quickly to limit their exposure, so having representation early helps protect the victim's rights.
Medina: Is there a time limit on pursuing these kinds of claims?
Haggard: Yes, Texas has a statute of limitations, generally two years from the date of the incident for personal injury claims. That may sound like a long time, but evidence can disappear quickly, so people shouldn't wait to get advice.
