Alleged shooter held in holiday slaying at home

San Antonio police on Sunday arrested a 24year-old man who had been sought by the Bexar County Sheriff ’s Office in connection with a Thanksgiving Day shooting that resulted in a woman’s death three days later.

Paris Shaw was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, burglary of a building, evading arrest and criminal trespass. More charges are forthcoming due to the death of the woman who was shot, the sheriff ’s office said.

Deputies responded to a report of shooting in progress just before midnight on Thanksgiving at a home in the 10600 block of Barbwire Pass in West Bexar County. When deputies arrived, they found the front door open and could hear someone having difficulty breathing, sheriff ’s office officials said.

Inside, deputies found 22-year-old Joanna Baker with a gunshot wound to her head. She was taken to University Hospital in critical condition, where she died Sunday.

Investigators linked Shaw to the shooting and sought a warrant for his arrest. The sheriff ’s office did not provide details regarding Shaw’s relationship to Baker.

On Sunday, San Antonio police arrested Shaw in the 6000 block of De Zavala Road after a 911 caller reported seeing a man looking into vehicles. When officers arrived, Shaw attempted to flee on foot but was detained shortly after, according to the sheriff ’s office.

While Shaw was in custody, San Antonio police learned that he had warrants out for his arrest and was wanted by the sheriff ’s office in connection with the shooting of Baker.
