Juan Arenas was a 30-year-old Hispanic man who died of gunshot wounds to the stomach after a fight in the early hours of October 25, 2014, in the 4100 block of Byron Street in El Paso, Texas. Police responded to reports of a disturbance; neighbors described hearing loud blasts and seeing a group of people outside before the shooting. Arenas was taken to a hospital and later succumbed to his injuries.

Following the incident, 32-year-old Deschon Leonard was arrested and charged with murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Investigators say the confrontation involved several men and that Leonard pulled out a gun and shot Arenas. Leonard was booked into the El Paso County Jail and held on a $300,000 bond; his record included a 2008 charge for assault and family violence.

Friends and residents near Byron Street and Van Buren Avenue were reported as shocked and concerned by the violence. Does anyone who knew Juan or who witnessed the fight have information that could help clarify what happened that night?
