SAN ANTONIO — An 18-year-old man is charged with aggravated robbery after being accused of shooting a woman in an attempted carjacking at the Alamo Quarry Market Tuesday night, the San Antonio Police Department said.
The suspect has since been identified as Julio Caesar Rivera II.
The incident happened just before 9 p.m. in the Whole Foods parking lot off Basse Road.
According to authorities, the 27-year-old woman says the suspect approached her as she was getting into her car.
That's when the victim reportedly refused to give up her car and was then shot, with the bullet exiting her cheek.
Police say Rivera, who ran away after the shooting, had possession of a handgun at the time of his arrest within the shopping center.
The female victim was taken to University Hospital in stable condition.
"Thank goodness it's not life threatening," an officer said, noting the victim was at a local hospital in stable condition.
KENS 5 reached out to the Alamo Quarry Market property management who said they're unable to comment due to the ongoing police investigation.
