Alonso Lamas Chavez, a 35-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed outside the 11:11 Bar at 1441 N. Zaragoza Road in El Paso, Texas, on December 28, 2022. He had been socializing with friends inside the bar and was struck by rifle fire after leaving the establishment. The shooter fired from a vehicle that fled the scene; Chavez was taken to a hospital where he died.

Investigators say the killing was tied to a criminal organization involved in human smuggling. Court documents allege a man in Juarez ordered Chavez’s death and that multiple people were involved: a white PT Cruiser reportedly drove to the bar with the intent to kill Chavez, and those inside opened fire. Gael Hernandez Ruiz, 19, has been charged with murder and is accused of driving the PT Cruiser and abandoning it after the shooting. He was later arrested by U.S. Border Patrol on an unrelated human-smuggling allegation and held in Luna County. Brandon Alexis Garcia, 20, was also charged; documents allege he picked up the alleged shooters afterward and was booked into El Paso County Jail.

Police say other individuals remain under investigation. Does anyone have information about the vehicle, the people involved, or the night at 11:11 Bar that could help the ongoing probe?
