On May 19, 2024, at about 6 p.m., Edinburg police responded to a shooting at The Enclave Apartments, 602 S. Pin Oak Drive. Officers found 43-year-old Alvin Aristegui-Puyg deceased from a gunshot wound to the head. According to a probable cause affidavit, the shooting began as a domestic dispute over two missing packs of chicken and escalated between Aristegui-Puyg and his cousin, 17-year-old Alberto Quintana. Quintana’s father told investigators that Quintana warned Aristegui-Puyg to stop being aggressive before fatally shooting him.

Quintana was detained at the scene and charged with murder. He was arraigned in Edinburg Municipal Court with bond set at $1.5 million and was later indicted by a Hidalgo County grand jury; he remains in custody at the Hidalgo County Adult Detention Center. The Edinburg Police Department continues to investigate and asks anyone with additional information to come forward.
