TX: San Antonio father shoots daughter's ex-boyfriend

San Antonio

I edited this to change "ex-wife" to "ex-girlfriend". But some accounts say ex-wife.

This case is still being investigated, but I am prognosticating that dad's self-defense claim will fly and he will not be charged.

2100 15 July police get call from unidentified male in 15900 block of Redwood Manor reporting he had been shot. Police respond but don't find anything amiss, believe it was deliberate false report.

Shortly thereafter Daniel Rudy Veliz (36 or 37 yo) shows up at that address where his ex-girlfriend, children, and GF'sfather (59 yo) are living. He gets in verbal fight on front porch with ex-GF, which turns physical. Her father comes out with gun, tells Veliz to leave, whereupon Veliz "lunged" at him, and dad shoots him in head, torso, and leg. Neighbors claim they heard up to seven shots. Veliz dies before surgery.

Cops are reported saying they have documentation that Veliz had previously called in a false disturbance then tried to contact his ex-GF.

Not included in the articles above are that Veliz was arrested last December in San Antonio for DWI, giving the Redwood address as his address.

Also not reported in the articles is that Veliz was arrested in Harris County in April 2006 for aggravated sexual assault against a child (14 yo girl).

He was convicted of sexual assault of a child in Dec 2008, given a five year prison sentence, and a lifetime registration as a sexual offender with a Castroville Rd address in San Antonio.

I'm thinking all these facts are not unrelated.

Glad lady and her father are ok, and otherwise a happy ending

Pelvis area/upper thighs, torso, head, in that order, back in the day was called a zipper technique. Bottom to top, like a zipper, usually more than three rounds on the way up. Similar to a Mozambique, but it assumes body armor is a possibility and that a pelvic hit might at least be a temporary mobility disabler...or that you're at near bad-breath distance with a handgun and the first round(s) needs to be from retention. And it rides the recoil up the target. Wonder if the girlfriend's father is ex-military. If there were actually seven shots and only three hits, may not be what I'm envisioning. But one can dream...about a wife-beating scum previously convicted of two counts of sexual assault of a child suddenly finding out the hard way that "harmless" grandpa was actually former Delta with multiple deployments in the 80s/90s, and the absolute last guy in the neighborhood you want to mess with.
