Random Shooting Leaves Family Injured | Texas News

A chilling random act of violence in Las Cruces: 26-year-old Jesus Angel Cortez allegedly opened fire from a moving car, wounding a father and his 11-year-old son—both survived but traumatized. Unprovoked, the attack escalated when Cortez later broke into a home, tried to snatch a child, dropped a gun, and fled. Now arrested by El Paso police, he faces multiple charges including shooting from a vehicle, aggravated battery, and child abuse—with more possible as the investigation continues. A brutal reminder of how fast chaos can erupt—and how justice is now racing to catch up. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
