A man accused of shooting eight people outside a San Antonio bar after he was turned away because he was too inebriated was arrested Thursday by U.S. marshals and Florida sheriff's deputies, police said.
Jenelius Crew, 37, was arrested at a Miami hotel by a regional fugitive task force, San Antonio police said in a statement. On Wednesday, the department obtained eight aggravated assault and deadly weapon arrest warrants for him, the statement said.
Crew is accused of opening fire on people outside a bar Friday night after he and others were denied entry because they were too drunk, police said. The victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries, officials said.
San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said the night of the shooting that a group had been at one bar and then went across the street to the second bar where they were denied entry by a doorman.
The gunman "made a statement that 'don't you who I am, I'm a UFC fighter from California,' McManus said.
The group left, and the gunman then got what was described as a long rifle from his car and opened fire on people in a parking lot, McManus said.
Crew does not appear to be linked to Ultimate Fighting Championship and does not appear to be listed anywhere on its website. An emailed request for comment from UFC was not immediately returned Thursday night.
Crew was being held without bail on a fugitive warrant in Miami, according to online jail records. It was not clear if he had an attorney.

At least eight people have been shot outside a San Antonio bar Friday night and police are still searching for the shooter.
The victims are all in stable condition at this time, according to San Antonio Police Chief William McManus.
A group of five people, two males and three females, were denied entry into a San Antonio bar because they were too inebriated. That’s when the alleged shooter said, “don’t you know who I am? I’m a UFC fighter from California.”
After being denied entry, the suspect then, according to McManus, “walked back to his car, pulled out a long rifle and walked back across the street and opened fire.”
The victims include five females and three males that are between the ages of 23-41, McManus said at a press briefing Fight night. None of the victims have been publicly identified.
Police said the shooter fled the scene and is still at-large.
