A suspected vehicle thief has died in a mall parking lotafter the owner of the truck he allegedly stole managed to track him down, police say.
San Antonio Police Chief William McManus told reporters that the shooting happened outside the South Park Mall on Thursday just two minutes after officers received a call about the theft. "The owner of the stolen vehicle certainly has the right to track down their vehicle," he said."Now, we would prefer that they called the police before taking that into their own hands, but he did what he felt he needed to do."
McManus said the incident unfolded when the owner of the stolen vehicle – who was with a female companion – first tracked it down to the mall’s parking lot. "They show up, they find the vehicle, there is two individuals – a male and a female – in the vehicle," the police chief said."The owner of the stolen vehicle gets the driver ... and the passenger out of the truck at gunpoint." "The suspect in the stolen vehicle was seated by the rear tire of the vehicle.
The vehicle owner then returned fire, striking the alleged thief and leaving him"deceased in the parking lot," according to McManus.
