Ex-con accused of killing 2 people outside Players Championship pictured sulking in back of police cruiser after arrest

The ex-con accused of killing two people outside The Players Championship in Florida was snapped sulking in the back of a police cruiser, coated in sand and foliage, after being taken down in the woods following a wild manhunt.

Christian Barrios, 32, was pictured in a black hoodie, smothered in grime and brush, staring at the floor in shame with his hands cuffed behind his back as a cop propped him up for the humiliating photo shared Saturday by the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office on X.

The felon, out on parole, allegedly gunned down two people in Walgreens parking lot in Ponte Vedra – just a mile from the PGA Tour site – Friday night before fleeing onto the course, sparking a wild chase across the sprawling grounds.

He then stole a black BMW from a nearby home and crashed into the woods, where he was later found hiding and arrested early Saturday morning, the sheriff’s office said.

Police said the deadly shooting was a domestic incident and that the victims were known to the suspect.

The mayhem briefly held up TPC Sawgrass from opening, but the annual tournament kicked off on time.

Barrios was hit with two counts of first-degree murder, burglary of an occupied dwelling, firearm possession by a convicted felon, shooting into a conveyance and grand theft auto.
