SAN ANTONIO – An arrest warrant has been issued for a 24-year-old man accused of shooting a neighbor during a road rage incident on the Southwest Side last month.
24-year-old Sebastian Terrazas Rodriguez is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a first-degree felony.
San Antonio police responded to a shooting in progress at 8515 Running Horse at approximately 8:40 a.m. on April 13. Upon arrival, investigators determined that Arturo Silva had been shot in the upper left arm during a confrontation involving a third party.
According to an arrest affidavit, the incident began when a witness backed out of a driveway as Rodriguez was driving down the street. Rodriguez allegedly became upset, stopped his vehicle in front of the witness, and snatched a cellphone from her as she attempted to take a photograph of his truck.
Silva, identified in the documents as the witness’s neighbor, observed the disturbance and drove up to intervene. Rodriguez then returned to his vehicle and began arguing with Silva.
Witnesses told police that while Silva and Rodriguez were in their respective vehicles parallel to each other, Rodriguez fired a handgun at Silva before fleeing the scene. Silva was transported to University Hospital for his injuries.
Investigators were able to identify Rodriguez using a photograph taken by the victim just before the shooting. Police also linked Rodriguez to the vehicle through a previous traffic stop in January and a statement from the vehicle’s registered owner, who identified Rodriguez as his brother.
