Marcos Fino Jr.

Marcos Fino Jr., a 32-year-old Hispanic man known to some as 'Pumba', was shot and killed in El Paso, Texas. Following his death, a fundraiser was created to help his family with funeral expenses. On the fundraising page, his mother wrote, "My son was taken from us unexpectedly due to a violent act."

The fatal encounter began on the afternoon of June 6, 2023. A 53-year-old man named Raul Alberto Orozco saw a Chrysler 300, driven by Fino, pass by his home on Montoya Road several times. Believing it might be the same car that had damaged his mailbox a month earlier, Raul got into his truck and began following Fino on Doniphan Drive to get his license plate number. During the pursuit, Raul called his sons, 28-year-old Jose Alberto Orozco and 21-year-old Cristian Bradley Orozco, to tell them what was happening.

The situation escalated on Doniphan Drive when Fino reportedly braked suddenly, causing Raul's truck to rear-end his Chrysler. Fino got out of his car and approached Raul. Just then, Jose and Cristian arrived in their own vehicle and positioned it in front of Fino’s car, boxing him in between their car and their father’s truck.

A verbal argument broke out between the three Orozcos, Fino, and a male passenger who was in Fino's car. The argument quickly turned into a physical fight. According to police documents, Jose Orozco later told investigators that upon arriving, he had loaded a cartridge into his handgun and tucked it into his waistband because he felt he "needed to be ready." During the brawl, a struggle ensued over the gun, and it discharged, striking Fino. Tragically, Fino’s 10-year-old son was in the back seat of the Chrysler and witnessed the shooting.

After the shooting, the Orozco family fled the scene and called police from another location to report the fight. Fino’s passenger tried to drive him to get help but soon flagged down a police officer on Doniphan Drive. Fino was rushed to a hospital, but he died from his injuries. The next morning, authorities arrested Raul, Jose, and Cristian Orozco. All three were charged with murder and booked into the El Paso County Detention Facility.

The case against the Orozco family proceeded to trial. In May 2026, a jury found Jose Alberto Orozco, the son who fired the fatal shot, not guilty of murder. As of that month, the murder charges against his father, Raul Alberto Orozco, and his brother, Cristian Bradley Orozco, remained pending, with their trials scheduled for later that year.
