EL PASO, TEXAS (KFOX14/CBS4) — A teen was sentenced to seven years of probation in a shooting that left another teen dead, according to online court records obtained by KFOX14/CBS4.

Alan Mora was sentenced on Nov. 3 to Criminal Negligent Homicide in the Oct. 7, 2024, shooting that killed 18-year-old Jesus Alberto Gonzalez.

Mora, who was arrested in January in connection with the shooting, was sentenced to seven years of probation and 300 hours of community service, court records state.

The incident happened on Oct. 7, 2024, at around 1:30 a.m. at the 3300 block of E. San Antonio Avenue, near Chamizal National Memorial, in central El Paso.

According to police documents previously obtained by KFOX14/CBS4, 18-year-old Mora was hanging out at a friend’s house with several other friends when he pulled out a gun and started taking pictures with it, handing it back and forth with his friend Gonzalez, when he shot and killed him.

When officers arrived on scene, witnesses immediately began telling them Mora had shot Gonzalez before running away to Ciudad Juárez.

Officers said that when they entered the home, they found Gonzalez lying on the floor dead from a gunshot wound to the head.

At this point, officers called the El Paso Police Department’s Crimes Against Persons unit, which then took over the investigation.

According to police documents, CAP detectives interviewed three witnesses regarding how the shooting happened, and the detectives said all three stories were consistent.

The witnesses told detectives that they had all met at a friend’s home with the plan to wait for another friend and then head to Pockets for food and drinks.

Witnesses then said that while they were waiting, Mora and Gonzalez started taking pictures posing with a black gun, which they said belonged to Mora.

They added that at one point, Mora had pointed the gun at Gonzalez, and that’s when they heard a “loud bang.”

Witnesses then said Mora reportedly yelled in disbelief, saying that he had just shot his friend.

Witnesses then told detectives Mora told them he was running away to Juarez and that he took off running out the back door with the gun.

According to police documents, the witnesses also told detectives that they didn’t see Mora and Gonzalez arguing before the shooting and that, in fact, they were “very close friends.”

Police arrested Mora months later in January in Santa Teresa, where he was brought back to El Paso and charged with manslaughter.
