A Cadillac Escalade gutted by fire was one of two vehicles torched in an unsolved arson while parked outside a home on Saint Armand Court in far East El Paso at about 4 a.m. on Christmas, Dec. 25, 2025.
Security camera video recorded the two men setting fire to the two vehicles at 4:09 a.m. The pair left and then returned 10 minutes later to “reignite and accelerate the fire,” Crime Stoppers said.
El Paso Fire Department fire investigators found that the suspected arsonists had filled water bottles with gasoline purchased at the Circle K gas station at 1600 N. Zaragoza Road by Vista Del Sol Drive, Crime Stoppers said.
