On June 6, 2023, 32-year-old Marcos Pumba Fino Jr. died after an altercation on Doniphan Drive in El Paso. The sequence began when 53-year-old Raul Alberto Orozco followed a Chrysler 300 he believed had damaged his mailbox, attempting to get its license plate. Raul’s sons, 28-year-old Jose Alberto Orozco and 21-year-old Cristian Bradley Orozco, joined him. A reported abrupt brake by the Chrysler led to a collision; Fino exited his vehicle and a verbal dispute with the Orozcos and a male passenger escalated into a physical fight. Jose Orozco drew a handgun, which discharged during the struggle and fatally wounded Fino. The Orozcos left the scene, later phoned authorities from another location, and Fino’s passenger sought help and flagged down police. Fino died of his wounds.

The next morning Raul, Jose and Cristian Orozco were arrested and charged with murder; bonds were set at $500,000 for Raul and Cristian and $1 million for Jose, who was identified as the person who fired the fatal shot. Neighbors described the Orozco family as hardworking and decent. Fino was remembered as a devoted father and family member and is survived by his parents Marcos Fino and Normalinda Marquez; his children Johnathan Joseph Fino, Daniel David Fino, Mariyah Fino and Yazsleyn Leahnia Fino; and his brothers Sonny Rae Fino and Isaac Marc Fino. Did anyone witness the confrontation on Doniphan Drive or have information about what led to the collision?
