A shooting on the North Side of San Antonio left 45-year-old William Shinn dead on November 30, 2025. Officers were sent to the 1300 block of Patricia Drive just after 10:00 p.m.; on arrival they found Shinn with multiple gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the manner of death a homicide.

Witnesses told police the suspect ran into a nearby residence after the shooting. The San Antonio Police Department’s Street Crimes Unit and SWAT set a perimeter around that home. Officers called the suspect out without further incident and took 22-year-old Salim Ben Abidi into custody. He was arrested, charged with murder, and booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center with bond set at $350,000.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who saw anything on Patricia Drive that night who haven’t yet spoken with investigators?
