SAN ANTONIO -

A home invasion turned deadly at a North San Antonio apartment complex early Tuesday morning.

San Antonio police responded to a call for shots fired around 3 a.m. at the Wood Hollow Apartments in the 10300 block of Sahara Drive near San Pedro Avenue.

Investigators said three masked men kicked in the front door of an apartment unit and began to ransack the home.

Police said one of the suspects grabbed the tenant, 21-year-old Dmitri Lawrence Brown, by the throat, forced him down, then put a hand over his eyes while the other two suspects attempted to steal jewelry from the apartment.

As the suspects were leaving, Brown was able to get up and grab a gun, police said. He then shot and killed the suspect who had been holding him down, police said.

Brown was not expected to face charges, San Antonio police said.

I should hope not. A Neighborhood Watch commendation would be in order.

I don’t know....

This smells like retribution, or a drug deal gone bad, or something.

I’d bet this was no random home invasion.

According to the video, there have been ‘problems’ at this apartment complex. People are moving out.

Brown isn’t facing charges but his neighbors are suspicious of him.

Three men, masked and armed, kick in his door in the middle of the night — what are they looking for? Is Brown a drug dealer? Is he a ‘fence’? Or is he a regular citizen and victim?
