UPDATE: El Paso Police released an update on Tuesday’s shooting, stating that three El Paso men were arrested and charged with murder after the death of a 32-year-old man.
Police say Raul Orozco, 53 and Marcos Fino Jr., 32 who has been identified to be the victim were driving on Doniphan when an “altercation” happened between them while they were in their vehicles.
Police say Orozco began chasing the victim and during the pursuit, Orozco called his sons, Jose Orozco, 28, and Cristian Orozco, 21 for “help.” They all then reached the 5900 block of Doniphan when Jose and Cristian allegedly positioned their vehicle in front of Fino’s car, blocking him in, according to police.
Raul then allegedly blocked Fino’s car from behind which led to a verbal confrontation that turned physical between the brothers, the victim and his male passenger.

The male passenger who was with Fino, attempted to get him medical attention by driving away on Doniphan but he then stopped and flagged down a police unit. Police say Fino had a total of three passengers in his vehicle.
