A contested hearing in Bexar County’s 187th District Court on an aggravated‑robbery allegation against Malik Dion Lampkin centered on video evidence, phone‑data traces and recent emergency mental‑health contacts.

Detectives and patrol officers told Judge Stephanie Boyd that surveillance from a Shell gas station and neighboring businesses showed a suspect wrestle an 80‑year‑old victim to the ground and then drive off in the victim’s car. Officer Biesda Tamez, who responded to the Shell station, identified and authenticated her body‑worn camera recording; the court admitted the recording over a defense foundational objection. Victim Gilbert Aleman testified that the suspect grabbed him from behind, took his keys and fled in the victim’s Cadillac.

Detective Reynaldo Sanchez and Detective Justin Irvin described investigative steps that led from restaurant surveillance to a phone number and a Cash App entry. Sanchez said investigators "had his Cash App name, Malik Lampkin," and used a DPS crime‑analyst facial‑recognition return to corroborate the identity. Irvin testified the Jim’s restaurant surveillance and a subsequent HEB surveillance helped place the stolen vehicle and provide a clear photo for identity searches. Based on those leads the unit obtained an arrest warrant charging Lampkin with aggravated robbery.

The hearing also examined Lampkin’s recent contacts with mental‑health services and probation. Officer Javier Torres (adult probation) testified Lampkin missed monthly reporting in January and February 2025, provided an earlier but expired treatment verification and relied on family for transport and paperwork. Officer Gomez (SAPD) told the court she placed Lampkin on an emergency detention on March 15, 2025 after family members and officers observed behavior and medication noncompliance; Gomez later reviewed surveillance and confirmed the detained person matched the images provided by robbery investigators.

Defense counsel challenged foundation for some documents and questioned the timing and source of treatment records; the court sustained a limited number of evidentiary objections but admitted the state’s key exhibits after voir dire. The state’s detective witnesses described coordination between patrol, robbery detectives and a DPS crime analyst to compile the identification package presented to the court.

Judge Boyd did not resolve guilt at the hearing; instead the court admitted evidence, heard live testimony from the victim and multiple officers and detectives, and scheduled the matter for continued proceedings. The court set a further hearing date of December 15, 2025, to allow the parties time to complete outstanding matters and for the court to consider the record.

"I placed Mister Lampkin on emergency detention," Officer Gomez testified about the March contact, explaining the step was taken because "he wasn't making sense" and appeared not to be medication‑compliant. Detective Sanchez told the court investigators had multiple leads, including the phone number traced to a Cash App account linked to the name Malik Lampkin. The court admitted photographic and video exhibits and took the matter under advisement pending later proceedings.

The contested hearing assembled both investigative evidence (surveillance, body‑worn camera and phone‑data) and custodial/medical records relevant to identity and mental‑health status; the court will revisit those materials at the next scheduled date.
