SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Police Department announced the suspect officers took into custody after a Tuesday night shooting has been charged with murder.
According to a SAPD preliminary report, Harvey Harris, 51, was arrested without incident.
Officers were dispatched on a shooting call just before 5:30 p.m. Tuesday to the 4600 block of East Southcross Boulevard, near South W.W. White Road.
Upon arrival, police said a 40-year-old man was found unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body.
First responders pronounced the man dead at the scene. The victim’s identity is not yet clear.
Investigators determined the shooting death stemmed from a road rage incident. Authorities said Harris was taken into custody after he returned to the location.
According to jail records, Harris has been charged with murder, a first-degree felony.
SAPD said its investigation is ongoing.
Animal cruelty charge
In addition to murder, Harris was booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center on an unrelated cruelty to a non-livestock animal charge.
Records show the animal cruelty charge, a Class A misdemeanor, occurred June 18.
According to an arrest warrant obtained by KSAT, a “reporting party” notified authorities in Kirby that a pit bull and Dalmatian were abandoned at a home in the 2400 block of Deer Grove Drive. The home’s address mentioned in the affidavit matches Harris’ registered address.
The reporting party claimed the homeowners had moved out at least two weeks earlier and had not returned.
A Kirby Police Department sergeant and an animal care officer responded to the home, the warrant states. Officers said the dogs’ lives may have been in danger due to a “heat advisory warning” in effect.
After efforts to contact the homeowner were unsuccessful, the sergeant spoke to a next-door neighbor who told him the homeowner had already moved out. The officers noted overgrown weeds, overgrown grass, trash and undrinkable water around the property, the affidavit states.
According to the warrant, the animal care officer on scene described both dogs as skinny with “severe” cases of flea infestation. The same officer later found a third dog, a bulldog, who was “visibly skinnier” than the other two dogs.
“Her spine, ribs and hip bones were protruding along with visible hair loss and open sores all over her body as well as a severe case of flea infestation,” investigators wrote in the affidavit.
The dogs, who were all underweight, have since been impounded as well as “treated with an emergency flea treatment, flea prevention, vaccinated, dewormed and fed,” documents show.
Court records show Harris’ combined bond on both charges has been set at $300,000.
