SAN ANTONIO — It's a court document that offers an intimate view into a frightening encounter that left a police officer with a gunshot wound and then, later that same day, a teenager dead from what police called a self-inflicted gunshot.
Officials said San Antonio Police Officer Dominic Muro is still recovering from the early-morning attack on Jan. 13. The medical examiner has yet to release a cause and manner of death for 18-year-old Leandro Luevano, the man who police say shot Muro during a traffic stop.
The affidavit indicates the deadly conflict started when the traffic officer attempted to stop a speeding Honda on Loop 410 around 1 a.m.
The encounter started peacefully enough, according to the document. Investigators said the unnamed driver of the car took the closest exit to Marbach Road, reduced his speed and turned on his hazard lights as he came to a stop.
But the driver later told detectives that while he was pulling over, his passenger, later identified as Luevano, pulled a handgun out of a bag he had, chambered a round and said he was going to shoot the officers.
As the car came to a stop, three officers approached.
They said the driver rolled down his window and showed the officers his hands. But on the opposite side of the car, things took a dangerous turn.
Investigators said as Muro approached, he saw a gun in the back seat and ordered the passenger not to reach for it.
Muro told detectives that when he ordered Luevano from the car, the teen raised his gun and shot through the window, striking the officer in the abdomen.
The affidavit said as the wounded officer fell to the ground, two other officers returned fire.
In a video posted to TikTok, numerous shots can be heard as the driver of the car dives to the pavement, his arms and hands extended as he quickly surrendered.
As the witness gave up, the affidavit said Luevano jumped into the driver seat of the Honda and punched it, getting away by driving westbound on Marbach. While the witness and another passenger were detained, an aggressive search for the now stolen car and the gunman was launched.
The affidavit said during the search, they found the car west of the shooting location in a residential neighborhood. Detectives said the car had been set on fire, but still-visible plates matched those from the shooting scene.
As the day wore on and the hunt for the gunman continued in earnest, the affidavit indicates a magistrate judge signed off on the warrant at 6:54 p.m., directing officers to a home on Meadow Glade, less than two miles east of the shooting scene.
But police said they eventually found Luevano at a home on Cat Mountain, which is about five miles west of the attack.
As day turned to night, neighbors recorded home surveillance video of a heavy law enforcement presence in the area. A fortified vehicle can be seen prowling the street, on the way to take out the garage door of the home where police believe Luevano had taken refuge.
They said they eventually gained access to the interior of the home and found Luevano dead of what they characterized as a self-inflicted gunshot.
Relatives of the teen remembered him on social media as a devoted dad to a young daughter.
Online court records show no criminal charges were pending on the adult side, but a source told KENS 5 Luevano did have at least one felony charge in the past as a juvenile.
As for the other two people in the car, police said no charges have been filed against either.
The SAPD transparency policy on body camera video, generally, is to release footage of critical incidents within 30 days. Tuesday will mark 30 days since the attack on Muro.
