Witness video shows moments a Bexar County deputy shot and killed a man on the West Side

SAN ANTONIO — Newly obtained video from a KSAT viewer shows the moments a Bexar County deputy fatally shot a man after a high-speed chase on the West Side.

The man’s family identified him as 43-year-old Roman Urbano Jr.

Urbano Jr.’s daughter, who wishes to remain anonymous, is calling for justice for her father.

Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar’s office said Tuesday that Urbano Jr. is a “fugitive felon” and a “known wanted fugitive.”

“(He is a) documented gang member who has several outstanding warrants for evading arrest with a vehicle as well as several weapons-related charges,” Salazar said.

Urbano Jr.’s daughter said her father was a good person and had been in prison, but she knew of no gang affiliation.

“I couldn’t believe it,” she said. “It was just incredible.”

Her friend said he wished things were different.

“We want to know what caused them to use such excessive force and why they fired so many shots at him,” said Urbano Jr.’s daughter’s friend.

A woman who was sitting in the passenger seat during the shooting was also injured. According to the family, she has been released from the hospital.

Urbano Jr.’s daughter said she watched the video posted on social media of the deputy shooting her father. She said she plans to contact a lawyer.
