San Antonio, Texas \u2014 SAN ANTONIO \u2014 The U.S. Marshals Lone Star Fugitive Task Force is asking for the public’s help finding a convicted felon accused of choking a woman twice during a domestic violence incident.<\/p>\n
Rudy Barbosa, 45, is wanted on a federal arrest warrant for allegedly violating the conditions of his supervised release. He also has an active Bexar County warrant for third-degree felony assault of a household member by impeding breathing or circulation.<\/p>\n
According to investigators, Barbosa grabbed a woman by the neck and applied enough pressure to restrict her ability to breathe.<\/p>\n
Authorities say Barbosa allegedly attacked the woman a second time, wrapping his arm around her neck and applying pressure that caused breathing difficulties and a panic attack.<\/p>\n
Investigators documented visible redness and abrasions consistent with the woman’s account of the assaults.<\/p>\n
Barbosa was convicted in federal court in 2023 of being a felon in possession of a firearm. He was sentenced to 42 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release.<\/p>\n
Authorities allege the new assault charge violated the conditions of his supervised release, resulting in a federal arrest warrant.<\/p>\n
Barbosa is described as Hispanic, 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing approximately 180 pounds. He has black hair, brown eyes and a distinctive tattoo depicting a pair of red lips on the right side of his neck.<\/p>\n
His last known address was in the Highland Park neighborhood on San Antonio’s East Side.<\/p>\n
U.S. Marshals warn that fugitives may change their appearance to avoid being recognized.<\/p>\n
Anyone with information about Barbosa’s whereabouts is urged to contact the U.S. Marshals Lone Star Fugitive Task Force at 210-657-8500 or submit a tip through the U.S. Marshals Service Tips app.<\/p>\n
