The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help finding Clinton Dwayne Dixon III, wanted in connection with a June 15 shooting on San Antonio’s Northeast Side. Deputies say Dixon may be armed and dangerous and warn residents not to confront him. The gunfire left a man in his 40s critically wounded and set off a flurry of detentions as investigators locked down the scene. Officials say Dixon was last seen on June 17.
Shooting scene and victims
Deputies were called out around 8 p.m. to the 7500 block of Glen Briar Drive, where they found a 40-year-old man with two gunshot wounds. He was rushed to a hospital in critical condition, according to KSAT. A juvenile was also hit and treated, and four juveniles were detained near the home while detectives combed through the area. Witnesses told investigators they heard about three to four shots, and deputies recovered multiple firearms inside the residence.
BCSO's wanted alert
The sheriff’s office has publicly identified the suspect as Clinton Dwayne Dixon III and describes him as 20 years old, about 5 feet 10 inches tall and roughly 140 pounds, according to KABB. Deputies say Dixon has active warrants for engaging in organized criminal activity, burglary of a habitation with intent to commit another felony, and unlawful carrying of a weapon. They stress that he should not be approached as investigators continue running down leads in the search.
Earlier Hoodline reporting
Hoodline previously covered the initial June 15 response and the detention of four juveniles. For those early details, see our earlier piece on gunfire and teen detentions. That report pulled together the BCSO account and on-scene observations while detectives were still building the case. Naming Dixon is the latest turn in the investigation and marks a shift from those first detentions to an active hunt for a named suspect.
Legal context
The offenses listed on Dixon’s active warrants carry significant potential penalties under state law. Engaging in organized criminal activity is prosecuted under Texas Penal Code §71.02, and burglary of a habitation is covered by §30.02, both of which can increase punishment ranges for related crimes, according to the Texas Penal Code. Those provisions give prosecutors tools to seek lengthy prison terms if charges are proved. Dixon, like any suspect, is presumed innocent until convicted in court. Hoodline has requested additional details from the sheriff’s office and will update this story if officials release more information.
How to report tips
Anyone who knows where Dixon might be is urged to call 911 in an emergency, or contact the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office tip line at 210-335-6000 or email [email protected], the sheriff’s office told KABB. Deputies again emphasize that Dixon may be armed and that residents should not try to approach him. Investigators are also asking neighbors to save and share any surveillance footage or other information that could help track down the suspect.
