Man who was accused

SAN ANTONIO – The police in San Antonio is looking for a man who cuts his ankle monitor and is now on the run after he was arrested at the beginning of this month in connection with a shootout outside a popular district in the city center.

The 38 -year -old Joseph Olivarri was initially arrested on February 16 due to illegal wearing of a firearm and the derivation of a firearm in a community.

After the publication of Bond, Olivarri reported reported his ankle monitor. The Bexar district prosecutor confirmed that an active arrest warrant was issued against his arrest.

Olivarri has a long criminal story in Bexar County, as court files show.

He was arrested last year in connection with a fatal shootout in a sports bar in San Antonio, but the indictment later became a fall, which the public prosecutor described as “further investigation”.

KSAT contacted the public prosecutor for further details on Olivarri's Bond and new fees, but has not received an answer until Tuesday evening.

Chaotic fight and shoot

In a incident report in San Antonio received by KSAT, Olivarri shows at a shootout that took place on February 16 at around 2:12 a.m. near the intersection of the North Alamo Street and 9th Street.

Videos that are widespread and have been viewed more than 100,000 times show chaos when a fight and shooting on the street broke out.

The struggle seems to be a standstill at the moment before several men and women hit and step on other men, which brings traffic to a standstill.

Several shots end in another video.

The police said nobody was hit by the shots.

According to the police report, the officials originally reacted to the fight, but were then informed about two men who shot each other in the area.

The report states that two people had got into a physical argument in front of the bar house and later heard shots on the back of the bar.

Security began to sweep and heard that several witnesses gave a description that, according to the Olivarri police, met as a shooter.

Olivarri was found alone in the rear parking lot of the Bar House in front of the passenger side of a parked black Nissan Altima.

When security approached, Olivarri made his way to the back of the car and was ultimately arrested by security.

SAPD officers arrived and found a firearm on the raft of the passenger side of the Altima. The police also found shells near the car and said the vehicle was closed and the magazine of the pistol was empty.

It is still unclear what was leading to shoot and fight.
