Gonzalez was also in the apartments, located at 212 Koberlin St. The detective states in his report that Gonzalez told him that Galvan had been playing with the gun. At one point Gonzalez claims he grabbed the gun, pointed it at Galvan, and pulled the trigger.

In a separate document, submitted by Shannon via the prosecutors, a description was given by San Angelo EMS paramedics. The 48-page document recounts the journey from the floor of the kitchen in the small apartment to Galvan's last breath on the hospital bed. 

After PD secured the scene, paramedics began a rapid trauma assessment. They noted that there was a bystander in the room that could only tell the paramedics the victim's name. The paramedics found that the bullet had entered through Galvan's right lower abdomen and exited through his upper back.
