Overview
- Federal prosecutors charged Jose Raul Alarcon‑Sanchez with unlawful possession of a firearm while unlawfully present in the U.S., in addition to a Dallas misdemeanor count for discharging a weapon.
- Authorities say Alarcon‑Sanchez entered on a temporary visitor visa in May 2025 and remained after it expired, with a federal court appearance not yet scheduled.
- Searches of his vehicle and a Jan. 28 search of his home recovered multiple firearms, including three 5.56 AR‑15‑style pistols, one of which matched casings from the bridge.
- Dallas and Grand Prairie police identified three suspects — Alarcon‑Sanchez, Anthony Acevedo, and Anderson Derce Lara — after the widely shared video, with more than 100 shell casings recovered, including 79 in 5.56/.223 and several 9mm.
- Acevedo was released on bond, while Alarcon‑Sanchez and Lara remain in custody on immigration detainers, and investigators say Lara is linked to a separate November road‑rage shooting involving a car with adults and children.
