EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — An El Paso man was sentenced to 25 years in prison after killing another man during a shoot-out at a bar parking lot nearly four years ago in South Central El Paso, according to the El Paso County District Attorney’s Office.
The DA’s Office says Daniel Torres, 42, pleaded guilty to manslaughter and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon last Thursday, March 27, and was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
On Oct. 15, 2021, El Paso Police were dispatched to the 3500 block of Durazno Ave., which was the parking lot of Cazadores Cantina, in response to a shooting.
The investigation determined that Torres shot and killed Alfredo Morales, 28, and Morales produced a handgun and shot another person during an argument, the DA’s office said.
Torres, who fled the scene, had twice been convicted of felony theft and had been sentenced to four years in prison each time, the DA’s office said.
