SAN ANTONIO — A shooting over the weekend involving an off-duty Olmos Park officer was spurred by a failed attempt to swap sexual partners, according to newly released police documents.

Police on Monday also identified the accused officer, Frankie Salazar, in the report.

He has been placed on leave with pay pending administrative action, according to the Olmos Park Police Department.

Salazar, 29, and the man who was shot through the chest and hand, Jesus Edward Guitron, had been discussing swapping sexual partners for several months, a female witness told police.

The woman and Guitron, 33, went to Salazar's San Antonio home on Saturday to have some drinks, according to an arrest warrant affidavit. When the witness went to the bedroom, Salazar walked in behind her and started kissing her, according to the report.

The woman told police she “didn't feel right” and wanted to back out of the plan, so she pushed Salazar away.

Another woman, 29, then walked in and became upset with Salazar for not telling her what he was planning, according to the report. She began arguing with Salazar, and the first woman walked out and tried to get Guitron to leave with her, according to police.

Before they could leave, Salazar and Guitron got into a fistfight, and Salazar told the 29-year-old woman to get his gun, according to police.

The 29-year-old woman said she grabbed Salazar's .45-caliber Springfield XDS pistol, and when she walked back into the hallway she saw that Guitron had Salazar in a neck hold. The woman told police she shot at Guitron “just to scare him,” but didn't know if she had shot him or not.

She then changed her mind and said she couldn't remember if she shot the gun, according to police.

The other woman and Guitron tried to leave, but at the front entrance Salazar shot three times, the woman leaving with Guitron said. She ran but then saw Guitron lying in the street and realized he was shot, she said.

Police were called shortly after 3:30 a.m.

Guitron had bullet wounds to his chest, right hand and possibly his left pinky, according to police. He was taken to San Antonio Military Medical Center, where he was later listed in critical but stable condition, according to police.

A Glock .22 pistol belonging to Salazar was confiscated, and he was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to police. He was later released on $50,000 bail.
