Pfc. Manuel Rafael Rivera-Pohl, 24, was fatally shot shortly after midnight on July 21, 2024, outside Legendz Bar at 1610 N. Zaragoza Road in East El Paso. Rivera-Pohl, an AH-64D Apache helicopter crew chief who enlisted in November 2022 and had been stationed at Fort Bliss since July 2023, was with fellow soldiers that evening after attending a car show where a confrontation occurred with 22-year-old Kwesi Nataniel Bacchus. The argument began when Bacchus was warned for hanging out of a vehicle during burnouts and allegedly continued later at the bar.

As Rivera-Pohl and his group left roughly 45 minutes later, Bacchus reportedly opened fire from a white Dodge Charger, striking Rivera-Pohl and wounding another soldier; two other companions, both 19, were uninjured. El Paso police heard the shots and saw the Charger flee; a pursuit was started but ended for safety reasons. Bacchus was arrested and charged with murder and booked on a $1,000,000 bond. The investigation remains ongoing.

Does anyone who was at the car show or Legendz Bar that night have information that could help investigators?
