In a somber development from East El Paso, one man has lost his life in a shooting incident, which also led to another man's arrest. The El Paso Police descended on an apartment complex located at the 7900 block of Viscount following reports of a shooting, according to KVIA.
The scene unfolded near Sunmount Drive, where, as per law enforcement officials, they found a man believed to be in his 40s deceased outside of an apartment. The call reporting the incident was received at approximately 11:49 a.m. A suspect, a man in his 20s, was taken into custody at the scene; "We don’t believe anybody else is outstanding (in the homicide case) at this time," an officer named Cisneros informed, as obtained by the El Paso Times.
