Alvizo is accused of striking and killing Antonio Gonzalez Almeida, 51, with a white SUV on June 2 in the 400 block of Historic Old Highway 90 near West César E. Chávez Boulevard.
Jail records show Alvizo is facing separate unrelated charges for Saturday’s arrest: a collision involving death charge connected to the June 2 incident, a second-degree felony, and a possession of a controlled substance charge stemming from a Dec. 2021 incident.
Alvizo’s controlled substance charge is considered a third-degree felony.
According to an arrest affidavit, multiple witnesses told SAPD that they saw or heard the victim, later identified as Almeida, get hit by a vehicle just before 2 a.m. on June 2 as he walked across the 400 block of Historic Old Highway 90.
Surveillance video from a nearby business showed Almeida crossing the street before he was hit by a white SUV that did not stop to render aid, the affidavit stated.
Investigators said Almeida was pronounced dead at the scene.
Alvizo remains in custody at the Bexar County jail. A judge set his bond at $40,000.
