Venezuelan Illegal Alien Suspect in San Antonio Officer Shooting Entered Illegally Through Eagle Pass

In a shocking incident early this morning, a San Antonio police officer was shot multiple times by a suspect identified as a Venezuelan illegal alien. The suspect, Jorge Chacon-Gutierrez, had previously been caught by Border Patrol in Eagle Pass, Texas, in November of last year and was released into the United States with a court date set for April 2026.

Incident Details

According to multiple law enforcement sources, San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) officers responded to a domestic violence call shortly after 3 a.m. Upon making entry into the residence, they encountered 25-year-old Jorge Chacon-Gutierrez, who was lying in bed with a rifle. Chacon-Gutierrez opened fire on the officers, who then returned fire and retreated from the scene.

Outcome of the Confrontation

Jorge Chacon-Gutierrez was found dead after the exchange of gunfire. It remains unclear whether his death was a result of the officers’ return fire or a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The SAPD officer who was shot multiple times underwent surgery this morning and is expected to survive.

This incident has sparked a debate about the effectiveness of current immigration policies and the potential dangers posed by individuals who are released into the community while awaiting court dates. The lengthy delay until Chacon-Gutierrez’s scheduled court appearance highlights issues within the immigration system that could allow potentially dangerous individuals to remain at large for extended periods.
