U.S. Marshals apprehended Jenelius Crew on Thursday morning.
Last week police in San Antonio attended to a scene outside of a bar where eight people had been shot by a man who claimed to be a ‘UFC fighter from California’. All eight of the victims are expected to survive their injuries.
The shooter was reportedly with a group of individuals who were denied entry to the bar on account of them being too intoxicated. It was after they were refused entry that the alleged shooter said, “Don’t you know who I am?” and then made his claim about fighting in the UFC.
It is alleged that the shooter then went to his vehicle, produced a long gun and then started firing across the parking lot.
Yesterday U.S Marshals apprehended the suspected shooter outside of a hotel in Miami, Fl. He is not a ‘UFC Fighter’.
According to New York Daily News police have charged Jenelius Crew, 37, with eight counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in connection with the San Antonio shooting.
Crew was arrested without incident. He is currently being held at Miami-Dade County Jail where he is waiting extradition to Texas.
The name ‘Jenelius Crew’ does not yield any results on popular MMA fighter databases Tapology or Sherdog.
