Deputy Jason Tibbs, a Bexar County deputy assigned as a prime scene unit photographer, testified Oct. 10, 2022, in the 187th District Court that he photographed a vehicle at Peppock Road and FM 1604 and later processed evidence at 8619 Key North Way, where he collected gunshot residue from the suspect.

The testimony and documents the state offered focused on three categories of physical evidence: photographs of a complainant's vehicle, a projectile removed from a tire, and gunshot-residue (GSR) swabs from the suspect. "It was gonna be, Peppock Road and 1604 to photograph, a vehicle," Tibbs said when asked where he was first dispatched. He identified the photographed car as a Pontiac Torrent and confirmed the photographs "fairly and accurately depict the complainant's vehicle on that day." The prosecutor offered those images in court as State's Exhibits 14, 15 and 16; Tibbs testified the photos were taken by him and had not been altered before the court admitted them without objection.

Tibbs said he returned to 8619 Key North Way after photographing the vehicle to photograph a suspect and to collect GSR. He testified that he then went to a QuikTrip at Kitty Hawk and FM 1604 after learning the vehicle owner had taken the damaged tire to a tire service, where the projectile had been removed. "When the projectile was handed to you, it had already been removed from the tire?" the prosecutor asked; Tibbs answered, "That is correct." Tibbs also identified the evidence envelope he brought from the property room and gave the item the identifying number 22-02-1094.

On chain of custody and evidence handling, Tibbs said he "signed it out from the property room" and that the projectile was packaged and labeled in evidence control. The court admitted an extended set of the state's scene photographs — listed in court as Exhibits 7, 10, 11, 12, 8, 18, 17, 21, 24, 30 and 31 — after the defense raised no objection to their admissibility.

Tibbs testified that a search warrant was obtained before searching the home and the defendant's car; he described the house search process and said multiple investigators assisted with searching rooms and photographing items. He told the court that "there were items collected, but no evidence pertaining to this case" recovered from inside the house.

The prosecutor passed the witness after questioning. Tibbs was held available for recall by the state and the court reminded the witness that he could not discuss his testimony outside the courtroom.

The record shows the state offered multiple physical exhibits and the court admitted the photographs and the labeled projectile into evidence; those admitted exhibit numbers were read on the record during the hearing.
