SAN ANTONIO - A man died after he was viciously beaten outside a North side convenience store.

Police were called to the Diamond Food Mart off Vance Jackson and Nassau around 10:00 pm Monday night. Police say the 41-year old victim was playing in a pool tournament nearby, and walked to the store to get a drink. Witnesses say he was confronted by two men inside the store who followed him outside. Police say a third man also approached him, and the three men began beating the victim.

The victim was taken to University hospital where he died in surgery late Monday night.

Police are looking at surveillance video taken from outside the store. 

Investigators say they hope to make arrests soon in connection with the beating death.

in regards to the beating death of a man.. its hard to believe that some animals think they can just beat on another human and think its okay... those cowards .. 3 fat a holes beat on a small man then run and hide .. I hope someone catches up to Larry Castro ( murderer ) and his 2 goons... God bless the family of the deceased...

Thought no one walked in San Antonio, judging by the obesity rate...

And you mean to tell me there was NO one- not even the clerk, who could call bullfrog and stop these guys? You mean to tell me people are now more likely to have a weapon in the car and use it on the road (as evidenced by the ridiculous crap from yesterday) than there are folks walking around Vance Jackson in the middle of the night?
