Alvi Aristegui Puyg, listed elsewhere as Alvin Aristegui-Puig, was a 43-year-old man shot to death in Edinburg, Texas, on May 19, 2024. Police were called shortly after 6 p.m. to the Enclave Apartments on South Pin Oak Drive, where officers found Puyg suffering from a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators quickly focused on a family dispute over two missing packages of chicken. A 17-year-old relative, identified as Alberto Quintana, was detained at the scene after officers say he acknowledged firing a handgun that struck Puyg in the head. Quintana’s father told investigators the firearm belonged to him and said he would cooperate. Quintana was charged with murder and was arraigned with bond set at $1.5 million; reporting describes the incident as an intra-family argument that escalated into fatal violence.

Puyg’s family publicly called for justice, with his brother Lázaro Iván Aristegui Puig speaking out. If anyone has information about the shooting, or knew Alvi’s movements that evening, please come forward.
