A 19-year-old man walked into the Bexar County jail Sunday afternoon to be booked.
KSAT does not typically report on suicides, but we found this raises public safety questions about how a gun made it into what’s supposed to be a secure area.
Salazar said Jesus Gonzales was arrested after he was charged with domestic violence choking, a felony. BCSO says a 19yo man shot and killed himself during a strip search. Sheriff Salazar says SAPD brought him in on a domestic violence warrant. He said the 19yo was patted down by a deputy when he entered the jailHe said Gonzales pulled out a gun while a deputy was strip-searching him and shot himself.“It’s a secure facility,” responded Salazar. “I mean, literally nobody is armed. Not even us.
KSAT also asked if the arresting officer found any guns on Gonzales before bringing him to jail and if any action was being taken.“All we can assume at this point is that he came into the facility with the weapon, hidden under several layers of clothing,” said Salazar. “But still, absolutely the weapon had to have been, should have been found before that.”He said none of the deputies in that section of the jail were armed or hurt.Daniela Ibarra joined the KSAT News team in July 2023.
