On July 4, 2024, 39-year-old Arturo Navarro was shot in the head during a large off‑road gathering and holiday celebration in the Red Sands area of El Paso, Texas. Video evidence and court documents say an altercation involved several people, including Arturo’s 21‑year‑old son, Jair Navarro. Arturo reportedly tried to intervene when Jair had been struck by an unknown assailant and drew a handgun. As Arturo stood between his son and the assailant, a gunshot struck Arturo. He was taken to a local hospital in critical condition and died on July 7, 2024.

The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit identified Jair as the primary suspect, and a warrant was issued. On July 12, 2024, the U.S. Marshals Lone Star Fugitive Task Force arrested Jair at a residence in El Paso County; he was charged with murder and booked into the El Paso County Detention Facility with bond set at $750,000. Authorities have not released a motive or additional circumstances. Does anyone who was at Red Sands that night have information that could help clarify what happened?
