A prosecutor cross-examined Jesse Alvarez on the witness stand Thursday. He’s the defendant accused of murdering a Cathedral Catholic High School teacher in a fit of jealousy in 2021. Alvarez, 33, testified he shot teacher Mario Fierro in self-defense, during an altercation where the men struggled over a gun Alvarez was carrying. “He rushed at me, and I was completely taken aback. He started trying to punch me,” Alvarez told the jury. Alvarez said he just wanted to talk to his ex-girlfriend’s fiancé on the morning he showed up at his home in North Park, and that he routinely carried a gun in urban areas.
