Las Vegas Man Charged with Murder in Shooting of Ex-Wife, Her Husband at Grocery Store

A Las Vegas man faces double murder charges after he allegedly shot and killed his ex-wife and her new husband at their shared workplace on Tuesday.

Police say Alejandro Estrada, 43, entered the Smith's grocery store where the couple worked and immediately opened fire. Patrons in the store tackled him and held him down until officers arrived.

The victims, Amanda Rosas and Victor Frias Rosas, were pronounced dead at the scene. Amanda married Rosas last year, but she and Estrada were locked in a custody battle over their 12-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter. Estrada owed her more than $2,800 in child support payments, according to the New York Post.

Police say Estrada carried multiple weapons during the attack. He now faces 12 charges, including two counts of murder.

"He was completely calm. No expression. No nothing," shopper Paula Milton told the Las Vegas Review-Journal of Estrada. "You could tell it was him because everyone else was running and screaming, and he was like no big deal."

The shooting comes days after police arrested a Las Vegas high school student accused of murdering a homeless woman.

The Review-Journal identified the suspect as Dennis Geiggar, a high school student with a history of behavioral issues and anger-related incidents. He was arrested May 5, but the body of the victim, 61-year-old Marceline Biasini, was found April 21.

The victim was lying on the sidewalk outside a business and suffering from apparent injuries just after 8 a.m. on April 21, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department told Fox News Digital.

Nearby surveillance video captured a brief, suspicious encounter in the middle of the night, showing a suspect approaching the victim's area and leaving about a minute later, the Review-Journal reported, citing police records.

"The precise location of the crime scene was obstructed from surveillance cameras, but video surveillance with audio captured the suspect approaching Marceline's location and, seconds later, a scream is heard followed by approximately 61 loud thuds," the Review-Journal report said.

Geiggar had recently been expelled from a nearby high school for allegedly trying to start a fire on campus. Police said he had numerous incidents where his anger resulted in punching walls and trash cans, and he had been participating in anger management classes, according to the outlet.
