They are looking for Pedro Andres Escamilla, 27, who was last seen running from the Bexar County Courthouse wearing a khaki shirt and khaki pants. He was seen running southbound along the River Walk and is believed to have taken off his shirt, BCSO says.
Deputies later found pants at Dawson Park but could not confirm if they belong to Escamilla.
He is described as being 5'05" in height and weighs 130 pounds. Officials say he has brown eyes and brown hair.
