Patrolman Richard Scott Rogiers, 29, was killed after a traffic stop on March 11, 1989, in Balcones Heights, Texas. While conducting a routine stop near Loop 410 and Fredericksburg Road in San Antonio, Rogiers found the driver had an outstanding San Antonio warrant. A struggle followed as Rogiers attempted to place the suspect under arrest and the suspect produced a handgun. Rogiers was shot in the head twice; after the first wound he managed to transmit a distress call. He was taken to Medical Center Hospital in San Antonio and died there the next day.

Rogiers was a United States Army veteran and had served with the Balcones Heights Police Department for five years. He was survived by his wife and son. Does anyone have further details about the scene that might clarify the events around the struggle and the distress call?
