Michael Anthony Pimentel was 64 and serving as Chief of Police for the Elmendorf Police Department when he was fatally shot during a traffic stop on August 23, 2014. The stop involved 24-year-old Joshua Manuel Lopez, who was reportedly pulled over for a traffic violation and then allegedly opened fire, striking Pimentel in the shoulder and abdomen. Pimentel was airlifted to a hospital and pronounced dead on arrival.

Lopez was arrested without incident, held on a $1 million bond and charged with capital murder. Pimentel had served in multiple Texas departments before becoming Elmendorf chief in 2013 and was remembered by the community and fellow officers at his funeral.

Does anyone have information about the traffic stop or Lopez’s prior contacts with the Elmendorf Police Department?
