KTSM News – Man arrested in connection with 2 separate shooting incidents last year

Posted on March 13, 2025

EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – A man was recently arrested in connection with two separate shooting incidents that happened last year, the Third Judicial District Attorney’s Office said in a news release.

The Third Judicial DA’s Office said that Alex Cuellar has been charged with shooting at a dwelling and shooting at or from a motor vehicle in both incidents.

The first incident happened on June 9 and the second one on October 22, 2024, the DA’s Office said.

The DA’s Office said that following a lengthy investigation, arrest warrants were served on Cuellar on Monday, March 10.

Days later, on Thursday, March 13, Judge Douglas R. Driggers presided over Cuellar’s hearing, where he was ordered to be held with no bond pending trial for both cases, the DA’s Office said.

The DA’s Office said Cuellar is alleged to have “indiscriminately fired multiple rounds into a house without regard for the safety of others.”

“The investigation uncovered that at least one of the shootings — where a residence was struck with over 40 rounds of gunfire — was reportedly carried out as an act of retaliation for the shooting of a fellow gang member,” Chief Deputy District Attorney Melissa García said. “We are pleased to be able to present thoroughly investigated cases to help keep Las Cruces safe.”

“We presented clear and convincing evidence that no release conditions would reasonably protect the safety of any person or the community,” District Attorney Fernando R. Macias said. “This decision underscores the severity of the charges and the threat posed by Cuellar’s actions. Our commitment to ensuring that those who endanger the safety of our community face appropriate consequences is unwavering.”
