The San Antonio Police Officers’ Association is criticizing the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office after learning prosecutors intend to dismiss charges against a suspect accused of shooting and wounding a San Antonio police officer during a SWAT operation in June 2026.

In a press release, the association said the district attorney’s office “has decided not to file criminal charges against an individual who, according to clear bodycam evidence, repeatedly opened fire on SWAT officers attempting to serve an outstanding warrant.”

“This wasn’t a minor encounter,” the statement continued. “Our officers were doing the job they were sworn to do, apprehending a wanted felon, when they were shot at.”

The association said Officer Mokrane was shot but “thankfully did not suffer life-threatening injuries,” adding, “The next officer targeted this way may not be as fortunate.”

In the statement issued on behalf of SAPOA President Johnny Perez, the association accused the district attorney’s office of showing “a lack of respect for the men and women of SAPD who put their lives on the line every day to protect the citizens of San Antonio.”

“Not pursuing charges sends a dangerous message not only to our officers, but to the whole community,” the statement said. “Is the DA saying that criminals can shoot at police officers and face little to no consequence?”

The association also said, “Accountability matters not only to our officers, but to the safety of our entire community,” and concluded, “That is unacceptable, and we will not stand for it.”

On June 16, officers were attempting to serve a felony arrest warrant for 35-year-old Roman Xavier Pena when the suspect exchanged gunfire with the officers.

The suspect was struck multiple times, and the SWAT officer was shot once in the leg. Both were transported by EMS with non-life-threatening injuries to a local hospital for treatment.
