A viral video showing gunmen firing from a Dallas bridge on New Year’s has now led to multiple arrests and immigration holds as police say the suspects were involved in repeated acts of gun violence across North Texas.
The Dallas Police Department announced the arrests Tuesday, identifying Anthony Acevedo, 20, and Jose Alarcon Sanchez, 18, both of Grand Prairie, as two of the suspects seen in multiple social media videos firing guns from the Margaret McDermott Bridge over Interstate 30, just west of downtown Dallas.
The reckless gunfire, captured on camera and viewed worldwide, according to police, sparked immediate public outrage and a large-scale investigation.
Detectives with DPD’s Central Patrol Division and Special Investigations Unit launched what police described as an aggressive and exhaustive investigation, working alongside the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the US Attorney’s Office.
Investigators recovered more than 100 shell casings near the bridge.
During the investigation, detectives learned AlarconSanchez had been arrested earlier that same morning by the Grand Prairie Police Department for a similar firearms offense on January 1, 2026.
As the case expanded, investigators uncovered evidence linking 25-year-old Anderson Derce Lara to a separate road-rage shooting in November.

It sounds like they deserve just one more chance
Anthony Acevedo, 20, and Jose Alarcon Sanchez, 18, both of Grand Prairie ...
Um, no ... they’re NOT “from” the Grand Prairie area. They’re ILLEGAL INVADERS mooching off of the Grand Prairie area.
They’re ‘of’ whatever country the left to come grift and commit crimes here, from.
Seems they have learned pretty quickly
Guns and Texas.
‘Merica. 👍
A different culture, these guys lack any restraint.
And we don’t need ICE.
According to the left-Tards on X.
> they’re NOT “from” the Grand Prairie area. They’re ILLEGAL INVADERS <
Yep. It’s like saying that the Germans who occupied Paris during WW2 were French residents.
For some reason, I believe they should be executed. Don’t know, but that comes to mind.
Much bigger than a couple of illegals misbehaving.
Media and Donks have fostered the idea that the white Euro largely Christian founders are not rightful owners. It's why every Donk civil gathering begins with an insipid 'land acknowledgement.'
Or why random attacks on unsuspecting citizens are common from PofC. It's why Mexico has 53 consulates in the US (China has 8, UK 7 by comparison). Mexico has 1 or more Senators who live in our country representing Mexicans who ALSO reside here.
We the people who built this country are said to be here unlawfully, and Mexico intends to reclaim the Southwest. We're malo and should be chased off the land that was lost in war, or killed.
Round’em up and ship’em out!
What is wrong with their hearts?
Never mind ... I know. 😒
It seems that this nonsense must be part of the NYSlimes style manual for FactChecked(TM) reporting.
YES, “ILLEGAL INVADERS”
Thanks for the pics. Uncivilized INVADERS.
That ‘land acknowledgment’ makes my skin crawl. It’s historically nonsensical and only serves to undermine the legitimacy of our great country.
Clearly they are not sending their best.
Some of those videos didn’t look like semi-autos.
