Last week, officers responded to a report of threats at the delivery station on the 8200 block of Sous Vide Way, the San Antonio Police Department said in a Facebook post.

Upon arrival, officers spoke with several people who reported hearing the suspect detailing plans to execute a mass shooting at the delivery center. 

Detectives were immediately notified and discovered information leading them to interpret Aceves’ comments as a “legitimate potential mass shooting threat.”

Authorities “quickly” located and detained Aceves without incident. Detectives also seized an AR-15from the suspect’s residence, according to police.
