San Antonio Man Charged in Road-Rage Shooting That Wounded 10-Year-Old on School Drop-Off

An arrest affidavit says he fired from his SUV with his ex-wife and child inside during a morning commute to a nearby school.

Overview

  • Police arrested Bryan Arceo, 41, who is charged with three counts of aggravated assault for recklessly discharging a firearm and one count of child endangerment.
  • The shooting occurred near Timberhill Drive and Wurzbach Road after the mother honked when Arceo’s vehicle cut off the family van, according to the affidavit.
  • Witness accounts in the affidavit say Arceo brake-checked the van, pointed a handgun at the driver at a red light, and a single round pierced the van next to the child’s seat.
  • Officers recovered a live 9mm round and surveillance footage shows Arceo dropping off his ex-wife at work and a child at a nearby school shortly after the incident.
  • The girl, identified by her father as Alisa Gates, underwent surgery and was recovering, while her parents provided police with the suspect vehicle’s license plate and description.
