The Metropolitan Police Department released dramatic body camera footage Wednesday showing the arrest of the man accused of fatally shooting two people inside a crowded Smith’s grocery store.
The video shows an officer rushing to the Smith’s at 9750 S. Maryland Parkway in the southwest Las Vegas Valley on morning of May 12.
The first officer arrives at the scene and finds a small group of people surrounding the suspected gunman, Alejandro Estrada, 43, on the ground in the pharmacy drive-thru outside the store.
“Is that him?” the officer asks.
“He’s right here! He’s right here!” yells Darius Alston, who along with Merconie Clark, is credited with subduing Estrada moments after the shooting.
Estrada is handcuffed by the officer as others arrive.
“Let’s roll medical for the suspect as well because he got pretty beat up by the citizens here,” the first officer is heard saying.
In a chaotic, emotionally charged scene, police later are heard confirming two people died in the store. The victims were later identified as the mother of Estrada’s children, Amanda Frias Rosas, 40, and her husband, Victor Frias Rosas, 43.
Estrada is charged with two counts of first-degree murder and multiple other felonies.
