Two Bexar County deputies are at the center of a shooting investigation on the far North Side after an incident Sunday evening in the 26900 block of Rustic Brook, Sheriff Javier Salazar said.
Salazar spoke with reporters Sunday night but kept key details close to the vest, declining to say whether the deputies fired their weapons or were injured, according to KSAT. The station described the situation as a developing story and reported that the investigation is ongoing. Salazar said more information will be released as it becomes available.
How Similar Cases Are Handled
Officer-involved shootings in Bexar County are typically handled by the sheriff’s homicide and officer-involved shooting teams, with the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office later reviewing what investigators find, according to past reporting by the San Antonio Express-News.
In a May 2023 case highlighted by the Express-News, deputies were placed on administrative leave while multiple agencies combed through the scene, a pattern the public can likely expect to see repeated as this latest incident on Rustic Brook gets sorted out.
Where This Happened
The 26900 block of Rustic Brook sits in the far north portion of Bexar County near the Spring Branch area, according to local property listings and mapping data. A nearby listing on Realtor.com places Rustic Brook in the 78261 ZIP code and the Trinity Oaks subdivision.
What Happens Next
Salazar said officials will share more details as the investigation moves forward, and KSAT carried his remarks live Sunday night.
From there, investigators with the sheriff’s office and a review team from the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office are likely to examine body and scene evidence and interview witnesses before anyone decides whether charges are on the table, a process outlined in previous Express-News coverage of deputy-involved shootings.
