On December 3, 2024, an SAPD officer tried to contact a male pedestrian near Loop 410 and Jones Maltsberger Road in San Antonio. The man ran, and the officer chased him on foot toward a drainage ditch.

A nearby officer drove to the 800 block of E. Rector Drive, got out near the drainage ditch, and gave commands after seeing the suspect holding a gun. The officer drew his gun and fired multiple times.

The suspect ran, and the officer chased him. The officer saw the suspect turn and raise his gun, then fired several rounds and struck him.

The suspect died at the scene. During the investigation, it was determined the suspect shot himself in the head as he was shot by the officer. No officers or bystanders were injured. The District Attorney's Office is reviewing the incident.
