(CNN) - A police chief in a small Texas town was shot multiple times during a traffic stop Saturday afternoon and later died, authorities said.

Michael Pimentel served in Elmendorf, a suburb southeast of San Antonio with about 1,500 residents.

According to Rosanne Hughes, spokeswoman of the Bexar County Sheriff's Office, Pimentel pulled over a vehicle in a residential area. There was a struggle and Pimentel was shot, Hughes said.

The chief was flown by helicopter to University Hospital in San Antonio, where he died of his wounds, according to Hughes.

The Bexar County Sheriff's Office took 24-year-old Joshua Manuel Lopez into custody and he will face charges of capital murder of a police officer, said Hughes.

According to Hughes, Lopez had an active misdemeanor warrant for graffiti at the time he was pulled over.

At a press conference, Sheriff Susan L. Pamerleau expressed her department's condolences and said "even on a quiet, peaceful day in a small town, it can turn deadly in an instant."

He had a warrant for his arrest, genius and was trying to take him into custody. Typical that you would side with the animals.

Good to see the Police taking hard core crime seriously.  Grafitti is no joke.

Sure.....I will bet he's just a poor unfortunate "undocumented migrant" (illegal alien) who came here to study astrophysics under the Dream Act.

A Liberals wet dream...

Killing a cop in Texas.....he'll never see the light of day again.

[polychronopolous]

Good thing he didn't defend himself better.

It would be horrible to be branded a racist by doing so.

it's a cop, dead in 5 at most.  They'll fast track this guy.

The suspect's parents will be on the news, via a translator, discussing how he was trying to turn his life around and better himself for his 6 children....  with one more to be due next month.

So then, it's "art"?  What about when it's on your property?

If he was wanted for vandalsim, he should have just went with the police officer to the station...... got booked and finger printed. If there was a bail set, it would've been low. He could've been out within a couple hours. Eventually, he would've been fined and given community service.

but instead, he murdered the cop.

The most important thing is that he was tolerant and respected their right as disenfranchised peoples to shoot him.

Typical filth. Hope he has a nice time in the slammer.

If this article read: Police Chief pulls over a person, a struggle ensued, and the suspect was shot and killed, all the comments would be the same.....except slanted in favor of the cop.

Guess the police chief of that Podunk town likes.....pardon me -liked  to take matters into his own hands and pull over easy prey.

Perhaps the next one of his inbred family that takes the job will be a bit more respectful of human rights....

Not happy to hear that anyone gets killed, but in a case where it's a pig versus a human, if one has to go, I would like it to end this way every time.  Call it a character flaw of mine....

Hahaha, I grew up in Louisiana and Texas.  The gun totting folks down there are more dangerous than the police since no one sees anything if your ass gets capped.  I can only assume the b e a n e r was carrying cocaine.  They make runs through Florida, Louisiana and Texas for their Mexican distributors.
