Suspect Killed After Two Bexar County Deputies Are Wounded in Domestic-Call Shooting

Investigators report fewer than 10 shots after reviewing body-camera footage, with no ongoing threat to the neighborhood.

Overview

  • Deputies responded around 8:30 a.m. to a home in the 700 block of Tecumseh Drive in Timberwood Park after a 911 report of a forced entry.
  • Deputies encountered the man in a makeshift bedroom area and were fired on at close range; fewer than 10 rounds were exchanged and the suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.
  • One deputy was shot in the hip and another in the hand; both were taken to University Hospital in stable condition and are expected to recover.
  • The resident woman and her two children, all under 10, escaped before deputies arrived and are cooperating as victim and witnesses.
  • The suspect was described as a 38-year-old Hispanic man whose name was not released and who is believed to have a criminal history and possible warrants; body-camera video has been reviewed and the investigation continues.
