Alexander Maceo Zanabria was 52 when he was shot during a shift as a security guard at the Marketon supermarket on North Decatur Boulevard in west Las Vegas on the evening of July 20, 2024. He confronted a 40-year-old man, Luis Lopez, who was allegedly trying to steal groceries. During that confrontation a 36-year-old man, Miguel Narro, allegedly shot Alexander in the head; he was taken to University Medical Center with life-threatening injuries and died on July 27, 2024. His family chose to donate his organs.

Authorities arrested both men. Narro was initially charged with attempted murder, robbery, and battery with a deadly weapon; after Alexander’s death that charge was upgraded to murder with the use of a deadly weapon. Lopez was charged with robbery and battery. Reports say Narro and Lopez then drove to a North Las Vegas house and had a barbecue with the stolen items.

Alexander is remembered by family and colleagues as compassionate and hardworking; he is survived by his partner of nine years, two children, and his mother and brother in Cuba. If anyone knew Alexander or has information about what happened at the Marketon on July 20, please come forward.
