Kameron was shot while inside his home in the 100 block of Peach Lane. Four Bexar County deputies had been chasing a wanted felon in the area, and they opened fire on her as she tried to break into Prescott's home. The woman, who has not been identified, was killed.

Authorities have said the woman had pointed a weapon at police during the chase, but no weapon was found on her following the shooting.

Two other people were inside the mobile home with Prescott when he was shot, but they were uninjured.
