A 24-year-old man was arrested for making online threats 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 the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, SAPD said.

Olvera allegedly commented on a social media post “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, SAPD said.
