Dallas Police Arrest Two in Viral New Year’s Bridge Gunfire, Tie Evidence to Road-Rage Felony

Police say forensic work by local and federal agencies tied a seized rifle to a prior road‑rage attack, leading to a separate felony arrest.

Overview

  • Anthony Acevedo, 20, and Jose Alarcon-Sanchez, 18, both of Grand Prairie, were identified and charged with discharging a firearm in certain municipalities after the Margaret McDermott Bridge incident.
  • Detectives recovered more than 100 shell casings on the Interstate 30 bridge and, with the ATF, FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office, executed a search warrant that seized multiple guns including rifles seen in the video.
  • Evidence linked one recovered firearm to a November road-rage shooting into a vehicle carrying three adults and three children, and police arrested 25-year-old Anderson Derce Lara on six counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
  • Acevedo has been released on bond, while Alarcon-Sanchez and Derce Lara remain in custody on immigration holds, according to police.
  • Dallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux said the department will hold accountable those who put lives at risk and noted the suspects traveled into the city to commit the offenses.
