Men arrested in Dallas, Texas for shooting guns from a bridge and shooting at adults and children in a car have now been identified as illegal aliens and are behind bars.
From Fox News: A viral video showing gunmen firing from a Dallas bridge on New Year’s has now led to multiple arrests and immigration holds as police say the suspects were involved in repeated acts of gun violence across North Texas.
The Dallas Police Department announced the arrests Tuesday, identifying Anthony Acevedo, 20, and Jose AlarconSanchez, 18, both of Grand Prairie, as two of the suspects seen in multiple social media videos firing guns from the Margaret McDermott Bridge over Interstate 30, just west of downtown Dallas.
The reckless gunfire, captured on camera and viewed worldwide, according to police, sparked immediate public outrage and a large-scale investigation.

Today, the Dallas Police Department announced the arrests of two suspects connected to a New Year’s Eve gunfire incident on the I-30 bridge that was captured in a widely circulated video and viewed worldwide.
Anthony Acevedo, 20, and Jose AlarconSanchez, 18, both of Grand Prairie, were seen in multiple social media videos firing weapons from the Margaret McDermott Bridge just west of Downtown Dallas.
Detectives with the Central Patrol Division and the Special Investigations Unit launched an aggressive and exhaustive investigation, with assistance from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Investigators recovered more than 100 shell casings near the scene. During the investigation, detectives learned that AlarconSanchez had been arrested by the Grand Prairie Police Department for a similar offense in their city during the early morning hours of January 1, 2026.
As the investigation continued, detectives uncovered evidence linking 25-year-old Anderson Derce Lara to a separate road-rage shooting in November. In that incident, Derce Lara fired multiple rounds into a vehicle occupied by three adults and three children. With assistance from the ATF, investigators executed a search warrant and recovered multiple firearms, including the rifles seen in the social media video.
Acevedo and AlarconSanchez are charged with Discharge of a Firearm in Certain Municipalities, a Class A misdemeanor. Derce Lara is charged with six counts of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, a first-degree felony.
Acevedo has since been released on bond. Both AlarconSanchez and Derce Lara have immigration holds.
“If you put lives at risk in Dallas, we will identify you, investigate thoroughly, and hold you accountable,” said Dallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux.
