San Antonio Police Department Multiple Raw Axon Body Cam Footage 3200 West Martin

Consistent with the local Police Department’s Critical Incident Video Release Procedure, the Department published footage of an officer-involved shooting that occurred September 18.

At around 8:50 a.m., two San Antonio PD officers on patrol received information from a confidential source about an individual suspected of robbing stores, who was also wanted on multiple warrants. Officers were told the wanted male was in the area of West Martin Street. The officers contacted an individual on a bicycle who matched the description of the suspect in the 3200 block of West Martin Street.

The first officer exited the patrol vehicle and approached the suspect. The suspect refused to provide his full name, and as the officer went to detain the suspect, he began to resist. The suspect told the officer, “I have a gun, I’m gonna shoot you" and reached toward his waistband. One officer deployed his service weapon and fired multiple times, striking the suspect. The suspect, identified as 29-year-old Alejandro Vitela, was pronounced deceased at the scene.

As with all officer-involved shootings, the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office is investigating.
