San Antonio Shooting Suspect Arrested, No UFC Affiliation

Law enforcement officers have arrested the suspected gunman in a San Antonio shooting that injured eight people on June 12. The events unfolded after a group was turned away at a bar for being intoxicated, a man that was part of the group — who notably claimed to be a UFC fighter from California according to San Antonio Police Chief William McManus — shot and wounded eight people in a parking lot on Friday.

“He hit eight individuals,” McManus said. “All transported themselves to local hospitals.”

Speaking post fight at UFC on ESPN 10, Dana White seemed concerned by the reports and was just hoping they wasn’t true, he said.

“How crazy is that sh*t? This world is just f*cking bananas right now. If you don’t think I heard about that one at 7 a.m. this morning, you know what I mean? You know, I hope it’s not true.”

“But I hear that sh*t all the time. You know how many f*cking bald guys in this town walk around and say they’re me? It’s mind boggling, you guys. If I told you some of these stories, you wouldn’t believe it. It’s just crazy. I’m hoping that that’s the case.”

According to a report from the San Antonio Police Department, a 37-year-old man named Jenelius Crew was arrested on June 18 in Miami, Florida – he has no links to the UFC. Check out the full police report below.
