Consistent with our Critical Incident Video Release Procedure, the department, today, released video from the officer-involved shooting that occurred on August 30th, 2023.

Below is a brief synopsis of the critical incident:
Undercover detectives assigned to the Property Crimes Task Force, located a stolen vehicle in the northwest part of San Antonio which had been involved in multiple vehicle burglaries. Officers maintained surveillance on the stolen vehicle as it drove from IH 10 to Loop 410, eventually exiting at Highway 151 and entering the parking lot at the 600 block of SW Loop 410. The driver of the stolen vehicle exited the front passenger door and fled on foot. The second suspect exited the vehicle but was quickly apprehended. An undercover detective ran after the suspect and ordered him to stop. The suspect continued to flee from police and then reached into his clothing to retrieve a handgun. A single gunshot was heard and an undercover detective fell to the ground. An officer, who observed the detective fall after hearing the gunshot, drew his weapon and fired multiple rounds at the suspect who was running with a gun in his hand. The suspect, identified as 21-year-old Victor Fernandes, was struck several times and later pronounced deceased at the scene. The detective was transported to a local hospital in stable condition. During the investigation, it was discovered the detective accidentally shot himself.

As with all officer involved shootings, the District Attorney’s Office is reviewing the incident.
