EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — A 21-year-old El Paso man wanted, suspected of killing an 18-year-old by running him over with an SUV, was arrested Thursday.
According to the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, Abraham Alvarado was arrested after he was caught in the 11600 block of Valle Hermoso Drive on the outskirts of El Paso County.
Alvarado was wanted for a collision involving death, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and a collision involving injury, charges that stem from an altercation that happened on Apr. 20 at a Petro Gas Station in Far East El Paso, where police say Alvarado allegedly hit 18-year-old Leonel Monarrez with a gray SUV– killing him.
