WACO, Texas (KWTX) – A man is behind bars after an altercation involving Amazon warehouse employees escalated into a shooting and a police chase, an arrest warrant states.

Andres Sanchez, 22, is charged with five counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon from a moving vehicle, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

At about 2:20 a.m. on Sept. 27, Waco police officers patrolling the area near the intersection of Bagby Avenue and Marketplace Drive heard and observed gunshots being fired in the direction of a red Dodge Charger.

The officers pulled the driver of the Charger over and learned several men inside a white Chrysler 300 had fired rounds at the Charger. Police noticed the Charger was riddled with bullet holes, according to the affidavit.

Witnesses in the Charger told police there was a “disturbance” at the Amazon warehouse located in the 2000 block of Exchange Parkway and they drove to the CEFCO gas station at Bagby and Loop 340.

Furthermore, the victims said their vehicle was fired at while they were driving away from the Amazon warehouse and while at the CEFCO, police wrote in the arrest warrant.

Police recovered several bullet casings at the CEFCO.

Police officers soon spotted a white Chrysler 300 matching the description of the suspect vehicle and attempted to pull the driver over.

That driver, however, refused to stop and led police on a pursuit that ended when the driver crashed into a curb at the intersection of 12th Street and Gurley Lane.

Police said three men inside the Chrysler 300 exited the vehicle and ran away from the scene of the wreck. Officers were able to catch up to Sanchez and took him into custody.

Inside the Chrysler, police found more spent bullet casings, the backstrap of a handgun and a box of ammunition.

While in custody, Sanchez told police there was a disturbance between the people riding in the Chrysler and the individuals in the Charger.

Sanchez further told police the individuals involved in the altercation were “employees at the Amazon warehouse.”

The victims told police they believed Sanchez was the individual firing the weapon, according to the arrest warrant.

Sanchez is no longer listed as an active inmate at the McLennan County Jail.

A 2025 Texas law (HB795) enhanced the crime of aggravated assault to a first-degree felony if the offense involves shooting from one vehicle into another.
