SAN ANTONIO — A man was arrested Saturday in connection to a shooting outside an IHOP earlier in November.
According to San Antonio police Roberto Banda, 31, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
On November 4, police say there was a disturbance outside an IHOP in the downtown area on east Commerce Street around 2 a.m.
The victim along with other restaurant patrons helped break up an altercation which involved Banda, officials say.
Police say after the altercation ended Banda left the scene while the victim and other patrons went back inside the restaurant.
According to SAPD an hour later the victim was waiting in his car when Banda came back in a vehicle and began shooting at the victims car.
The victim was hit multiple times.
