Short timeline and key evidence in the El Paso shooting: Jearhamel Fanaro, 34, was found unresponsive with gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene after officers responded at 2:39 a.m. on September 9, 2025, to a residence in the 1700 block of Dale Douglas Drive. A 26-year-old woman at the same location also sustained gunshot injuries and was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Detectives from the Crimes Against Persons Unit quickly identified two suspects. On September 12 warrants were obtained and Manuel Gonzalez, 43, and Salvador Gomez, 44, were arrested and booked on charges of murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Investigators recovered a machete and shoes across the street, and nearby surveillance audio captured gunfire and a man running while holding a machete. Police documents reported Gomez told investigators he was the ex-boyfriend of Fanaro’s girlfriend, that he and Gonzalez drove to the home around 2:30 a.m. seeking a fight, Gomez armed himself with a machete, and Gonzalez opened fire.

Bonds were later recorded as $600,000 for Gonzalez and $1,000,000 for Gomez, with both in custody as proceedings continued. Does anyone on the block recall activity around 2:30 a.m. that morning or have dash or doorcam footage to share?
