BEXAR COUNTY, Texas – A 24-year-old man is facing aggravated robbery and deadly conduct charges after the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office said he opened fire on a bar and its crowded patio in Alamo Ranch, following a dispute over an unpaid tab.
Michael Alexander Garcia allegedly fired multiple rounds at the bar early Friday morning in the 11900 block of Alamo Ranch Parkway, according to the sheriff’s office, after his credit cards were declined.
Witnesses told investigators Garcia fired from his vehicle as he fled the scene. A security guard at the bar returned fire. No injuries were reported.
Deputies tracked Garcia’s vehicle to a garage at a nearby residence. Witnesses positively identified him, and he was booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center on charges of aggravated robbery and deadly conduct.
