EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) — Monday, the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office said deputies arrested three people following a stabbing investigation at a Far East El Paso grocery store. The suspects were arrested after a brief standoff at an apartment in West El Paso.<\/p>\n

Saturday, deputies went to the Vista Market grocery store off Montana Avenue in Far East El Paso at 8:51 p.m. Deputies learned four people left the area before law enforcement showed up, EPCSO said. <\/p>\n

The preliminary investigation revealed two men allegedly assaulted two people. During the alleged assault, one of the suspects stabbed both victims and caused serious injuries, EPCSO said.<\/p>\n

EPCSO’s Special Operations Unit then launched an investigation to find the suspects and victims. The sheriff’s office said the victims were at a local hospital getting treatment.<\/p>\n

Deputies found a suspect vehicle behind a mobile home at the 15500 block of Sun Beam Drive, which is in the Homestead Meadows North area, EPCSO said. A search warrant was obtained and investigators found evidence in the vehicle.<\/p>\n

Sunday, deputies found two people involved in the alleged assault, EPCSO said. <\/p>\n

Law enforcement arrested 20-year-old Isaiah Jonathan Cardenas, EPCSO said. He was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, assault causing bodily injury and criminal mischief. His bond totaled $267,500.<\/p>\n

They also arrested 22-year-old Felipe De Jesus Cardenas, who was charged with assault causing bodily injury and a $15,000 bond.<\/p>\n

Further investigation led deputies to an apartment at the Retreat at Mesa Hills, EPCSO said. Both suspects were there, and Isaiah Cardenas went into the apartment.<\/p>\n

EPCSO said he, his brother, sister and mother barricaded themselves into the apartment. <\/p>\n

Investigators got a search warrant for the apartment, and EPCSO’s Crisis Negotiations Team and SWAT went to help with the operation. <\/p>\n

After a brief standoff, the family surrendered.<\/p>\n

A third person, 24-year-old Zaithed Janet Cardenas was charged with hindering apprehension of a wanted person with a $3,000 bond, EPCSO said.<\/p>\n
