SAN ANTONIO – A 24-year-old man was arrested for making an online threat toward Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones on Tuesday, according to San Antonio police.
Marcos Olvera, 24, is accused of retaliation, a third-degree felony, for posting a threat on social media, SAPD said.
Olvera allegedly commented on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, “we need to kill the mayor.”
The social media post referenced the new Project Marvel sports and entertainment district development plan with comments mentioning the Mayor’s desire to pause the plan for further analysis, authorities said.
