Police were called to a Motel 6 in the 1200 block of Interstate 35 North around 10 p.m. Police said when they arrived at the hotel, they found the 32-year-old hotel clerk suffering from a gunshot wound to the face. First responders rushed him to San Antonio Military Medical Center, where he is currently in stable condition.
Authorities said the shooting happened after the employee got involved in a disturbance involving nonhotel guests. One of the guests pulled out a gun during the altercation and fired a single shot, striking the clerk in the face, police said.
It's unclear if Navarro was the trigger man as police have said they are looking for more than one suspect.
Navarro is described as a 5-foot male who weighs approximately 100 pounds.
