EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — A 20-year-old man is now facing a murder charge in connection to a fatal shooting that happened outside a bar a few days after Christmas in 2022, according to court documents obtained by KTSM.
Brandon Alexis Garcia, 20, is charged with murder in the death of Alonso Llamas Chavez, 35.
Chavez was fatally shot outside the 11/11 Bar at 1441 Zaragoza on Dec. 28, 2022. He was booked into El Paso County Jail on a $150,000 bond on Saturday, April 27.
According to the affidavit, the victim had been drinking with friends at the bar, and when they left as a group, he was shot by someone with a rifle in the parking lot.
