Marco Alvarado, 24, was one of three men killed in a shooting on Theodore Dawes Road near the Interstate 10 overpass in Mobile, Alabama, on January 18, 2025. The other victims were his brother Christian Aponte, 30, and brother-in-law Angel Esparra Maldonado, 28. The incident is described as the culmination of a dispute over a woman that began in Mississippi and continued for more than 30 miles before ending in the deadly encounter in Alabama.

Reports say the confrontation started as a fight between the three victims and another man. During that altercation, 34-year-old Anthony Morales Rivera allegedly arrived and opened fire on Alvarado, Aponte, and Esparra. Rivera fled to Puerto Rico after the shooting, later returned, surrendered, and was charged with three counts of murder; bond was set at $4.5 million. His lawyers have said they will argue self-defense. Investigators say another man, identified as Rivera’s cousin Adriel Pena, had been chased by the three victims after allegedly texting Esparra’s significant other.

Does anyone have information about the route the confrontation took between Mississippi and Mobile or about the people involved that could help clarify how events escalated?
