Five San Antonio police officers fatally shot an armed man in the 600 block of Aurora Avenue on Aug. 1, 2026. Officers responded just after 7:30 p.m. to a disturbance involving a gun after a caller reported her neighbor was waving a gun in his front yard. Officers arrived and saw the man with a firearm. He ignored their commands and reached for his weapon in its holster. Five officers fired at the man, identified as Raul Garza, 69. He was pronounced dead at the scene. No officers or bystanders were injured.

He had a history of prior police calls and was suspected by neighbors and responders of experiencing a mental health crisis at the time of the shooting like many times in such occasions.
