Dantavea Roshun Mitchell, 32, was arrested by the San Antonio Police Department this week and faces a first-degree felony charge of aggravated robbery for an incident at a Pleasanton Road dispensary on Feb. 15. Video of the attack shared by the store owner prompted an anonymous tip and a photo lineup that led investigators to Mitchell, who was identified and later had a warrant issued for his arrest. The affidavit describes a violent early morning confrontation in which the clerk was pistol-whipped and a gun discharged at her feet without striking her. Authorities say multiple suspects were involved and that the scene ended with the attackers fleeing in a vehicle with a third person waiting nearby.
According to jail records, Mitchell was taken into custody on Tuesday following the case build by SAPD detectives. He is listed as charged with aggravated robbery, a first-degree felony, which reflects the seriousness of the allegations and the alleged use of a firearm during the incident. Arrest paperwork and the affidavit provide the timeline and the sequence of events investigators say led to the charge. The case remains active as detectives sort through witness statements and video evidence.
The assault unfolded shortly after 2:30 a.m. on Feb. 15 at a 24-hour dispensary in the 3800 block of Pleasanton Road. As the clerk opened the door, the affidavit alleges Mitchell grabbed her, threw her to the ground and struck her in the head with a handgun. That blow caused the weapon to discharge, with the round hitting the floor close to the clerk’s head but not striking her. The violence and the near miss are central to why the charge carries an aggravated designation under Texas law.
While Mitchell allegedly restrained the clerk at gunpoint, a second man entered the store and removed cash and merchandise, investigators say. Both suspects then fled the scene and got into a vehicle where a third person was waiting, according to the affidavit. Police have been following leads to determine who those other people are and whether they remain at large. It remains unclear from public records whether two additional suspects named in the document have been located.
The identification process involved both public assistance and standard police procedures. The store owner published video of the robbery, which led to an anonymous tip identifying a suspect the next day. SAPD constructed a photo lineup using Mitchell’s out-of-state driver’s license, and the victim made a positive identification the following week. A warrant for Mitchell’s arrest was issued the same day the victim identified him, and detectives moved to take him into custody when possible.
KSAT and other local outlets were among those that published the video the store owner provided, which played a role in generating tips for investigators. Police officials often rely on community tips in cases with clear surveillance footage, and this case is no exception. Investigators have asked anyone with additional information to come forward as they work to confirm the identities of the other people involved. Public cooperation frequently helps close gaps that surveillance and forensics alone cannot fill.
Victim safety and recovery were key concerns noted in the affidavit, given that a discharged round landed near the clerk’s head. Medical details beyond the immediate account in the affidavit were not included in the public records reviewed. SAPD’s handling of the crime scene, the photo lineup and the subsequent arrest follow routine procedures for violent robberies involving firearms. Those steps aim to preserve evidence while protecting victims and witnesses throughout the investigative process.
Mitchell remains accused and is entitled to the legal process that follows an arrest and charging in Texas. Local jail records reflect his custody status and the charge of aggravated robbery, and court proceedings will determine how the case proceeds. KSAT has reached out to the San Antonio Police Department for additional information, and investigators continue to develop the case as they confirm the roles of the other suspects.
