DETAILS: Violent Suspect Threatened to Kill a Woman Before High Speed Chase Friday

 

SAN ANGELO, TX – Details on the dangerous high speed chase in San Angelo Friday have been release by the San Angelo Police Department.

According to court documents, on Oct. 28, officers with the San Angelo Police Department were dispatched to 900 block of N. Chadbourne for the report of an aggravated assault victim.

When the officers arrived, they met with a women who had been assaulted at a residence on the 100 block of W. Avenue I. The victim told officers that earlier that day she had gotten into an argument with Jeremiah Chavarria, 40, over a set of keys that were missing.

Chavarria was allegedly angry at the woman after assuming she had stolen the keys. Chavarria's roommate, who had the keys, showed back up and gave him his keys back. Chavarria then left the home.

A short while later, Chavarria returned to the residence with a black handgun. He began making threats that he was going to kill both the woman and the roommate. At one point, Chavarria fired two shots in the house; one in the dining room wall and one in the living room floor.

After the shots were fired the roommate fled the scene. Chavarria did not chase the roommate but instead took the woman into his bedroom. Once inside he forced the woman on her knees and told her they were both going to die. 

At one point, Chavarria knelt beside her and acted as if he was going to shoot himself in the head and that the bullet would travel through both him and her. He then forced the woman into a vehicle where they drove around the city.

Upon returning to the home, a patrol unit for the San Angelo Police Department happened to drive up to the house. This gave her the chance to escape.

Police were not told about the incident until the following day, Oct. 29. The woman's daughter called SAPD after the roommate told her what occurred the night before. Police then went to the residence with a search warrant. Once inside police found the bullet holes in the wall and floor as well as the handgun. The only thing not inside was Chavarria.
