The San Antonio Police Department has identified the man who was fatally shot by officers and the officers involved in last week’s East Side shooting.<\/p>\n
The shooting occurred around 2 a.m. July 16 in the 800 block of Hammond Avenue near Interstate 10 and Rigsby Avenue, according to a preliminary SAPD report.<\/p>\n
Police said officers tried to stop Andrew\u00a0Davila Jr., 52, while he was riding a bicycle, but he refused and rode away. According to SAPD, officers pursued Davila, who then pulled out a gun and pointed it at several officers.<\/p>\n
Officers Felix Rodriguez, Thomas Smith, Kenneth\u00a0Hernandez and Reed Butler fired multiple shots, striking Davila Jr., who was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.<\/p>\n
According to police, Smith is a 20-year veteran of the department, Butler has nine years of service, and Rodriguez and\u00a0Hernandez have each served for two years.<\/p>\n
SAPD’s shooting team and Internal Affairs Unit will conduct separate but concurrent investigations. Their findings will then be forwarded to the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office for an independent review.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The San Antonio Police Department has identified the man who was fatally shot by officers and the officers…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":380172,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-380171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/380171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=380171"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/380171\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/380172"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=380171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=380171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=380171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
