According to Diaz, police responded to the area following a report of a reckless driver of a Dodge Challenger that was found on a handicap parking spot of a Stripes convenience store. 

The vehicle was later revealed to have been reported as stolen in Harlingen. The officer at the scene also confirmed the vehicle matched the description of a suspect vehicle in an earlier hit-and-run incident, Diaz said.

“The officer attempted to detain the subject… and a struggle ensued,” Diaz said in a news release. "The male managed to re-enter the vehicle…shifted the vehicle into reverse, dragging the officer several feet and striking the officer’s patrol unit.”

The officer discharged their weapon four times, striking the victim three times, Diaz said. The man died after being hospitalized.

The Texas Rangers continue investigating the shooting, and additional details are not being released at this time, Diaz said.
