San Antonio, Texas — The San Antonio Police Department released footage from an officer-involved shooting that occurred June 3, 2021 in the 2300 block of Castroville Road. Officers were dispatched to a Family Dollar at 2319 Castroville Road after an individual made two calls to 911 reporting that a male was standing outside the Family Dollar and had threatened the caller with a gun and a long knife. When officers arrived, they contacted the male, identified as 18-year-old Kolton Chavez, whom the caller described.

Chavez dropped a backpack on the ground before pulling out a large knife from his waistband and turning toward the officers. Chavez then started to advance toward officers as they backed up while making several attempts to deescalate the situation. Chavez did not comply with officers’ requests to drop his knife. Chavez then charged at the officers, prompting three officers to open fire. Chavez was taken to University Hospital where he was pronounced deceased. It was later determined by investigators that Chavez was the one who made the two calls to 911 describing himself to the call taker.

  1. Yay, my hometowns SAPD made it on to PAs page. Oh wait, that's not a good thing. Go Spurs Go!

  2. Rookie PA viewer: "Why did the suspect suddenly become blurry?"

    Veteran PA viewer: "That's the 'I'm not alive anymore' blur."

  3. Again…WTF is up with these dispatchers? Maybe they should be trained to actually LISTEN as well as ask questions. How many times she gonna interrupt and ask questions that he has already answered, sometimes twice?
