Sanvicente was accompanied by his parents and lawyer when he appeared before a press briefing at Camp Crame in Quezon City, together with LtGen. Vicente Danao, who was the PNP OIC at the time.

There were even reports that the Sanvicentes have a connection with the Philippine National Police but PNP denied that Danao and the Sanvicente family have any connection. According to the police force, the press conference was the first time the PNP OIC and Sanvicentes meet.

On June 23, in a hearing before the Mandaluyong Prosecutors’ Office, the SUV driver insisted that the incident that landed the victim in the hospital for several days was a mere “accident.”

Meanwhile, in a resolution dated June 29, 2022, the Mandaluyong prosecutor’s office indicted Jose Antonio Sanvicente for frustrated homicide in connection with the hit-and-run incident.
