An arrest affidavit states that the victim, 21, was at the gathering at a Leon Valley apartment and was getting ready to leave.

That’s when Rangel approached him, pointed a gun at his face, and told him “give me all your stuff,” police said in the affidavit.

A tussle ensued and the victim grabbed the gun. At some point during the struggle, Rangel shot the man in the face, police said.

The victim fell to the ground and while he was unable to move, Rangel stole his phone and wallet containing $300 in cash, police said.

The suspect and others in the apartment left the unit. The victim was able to walk out of the unit but he collapsed in the parking lot.

The affidavit states that a passerby found him and called 911. He was taken to University Hospital in serious condition.

Police said a witness was able to identify Rangel as the suspect and a warrant for his arrest was issued on April 28.

He was also charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon, two counts of burglary of a vehicle with two prior convictions, and possession, records show. His bond is set at $150,000.
