Hinojosa, who was a passenger in one of the vehicles, attempted to conceal himself with a cap when approached by deputies, a BCSO spokeswoman said Tuesday.
Deputies, however, recognized Hinojosa and arrested him.
Hinojosa, who was armed at the time of his re-arrest, faces an additional charge of unlawful carry of a weapon.
Murder suspect on the loose after jumping bail on $300,000 bond
A warrant was issued by a magistrate judge for Hinojosa’s arrest last month following GPS monitor violations.
The warrant was issued weeks after Hinojosa was able to be released on a $300,000 bond.
He’s accused of shooting and killing Torres at The Fabulous Texas Sugartime Bar following a disturbance.
