SAN ANTONIO – A man San Antonio police initially said had been arrested in connection with the death of a 7-month-old girl was actually booked on unrelated charges, according to SAPD.
An SAPD spokesperson initially told KSAT on Wednesday morning that Isaiah Marquis Lopez was arrested in connection with Ozana Cisneros’ death.
However, later Wednesday, that spokesperson backtracked the previous statements, saying Lopez was arrested on unrelated charges. The SAPD spokesperson did not explain the discrepancy.
Records with the Bexar County Jail show Lopez was arrested on July 10.
A federal arrest affidavit obtained by KSAT states SAPD was conducting surveillance at a home in the 200 block of Parview Drive for Lopez, who had an active arrest warrant out of Bexar County for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
The affidavit states Lopez was “wanted for questioning in relation to the disappearance of his girlfriend and her child.” The document does not identify the girlfriend and her child.
When police tried to arrest Lopez after he left the home, he ran off but was eventually detained and caught with a pistol, ammunition and what appeared to be meth, the document states.
Records show he was arrested on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of a controlled substance and evading arrest.
What we know about Ozana’s death
On Tuesday, SAPD confirmed Ozana’s identity as the remains found at Concepción Park last month.
The girl and her mother, Maximina Cisneros, 19, were the subject of a July 9 AMBER Alert issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The alert initially said Maximina Cisneros was wanted in connection with her daughter’s abduction.
On July 10, Maximina Cisneros was found near the 200 block of Parkview Drive.
Hours later, investigators discovered skeletal remains at Concepción Park, which is approximately one-half mile away from where Maximina Cisneros was found.
Her cause and manner of death remain under investigation. No arrests have been announced in connection with Ozana’s death.
