A video that went viral, depicting gunmen shooting from a bridge in Dallas on New Year’s, has resulted in several arrests and immigration detentions. Authorities have linked the suspects to numerous gun violence incidents throughout North Texas.

On Tuesday, the Dallas Police Department revealed the apprehension of Anthony Acevedo, 20, and Jose AlarconSanchez, 18, both hailing from Grand Prairie. These individuals were identified as participants in social media videos showing firearms being discharged from the Margaret McDermott Bridge over Interstate 30, situated just west of downtown Dallas.

The footage of this dangerous gunfire, which quickly circulated globally, created widespread public concern and triggered an extensive investigation.

Detectives from the DPD’s Central Patrol Division, in collaboration with the Special Investigations Unit, embarked on a thorough investigation. They partnered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, along with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, uncovering over 100 shell casings in the vicinity of the bridge.

Booking images show Anthony Acevedo, 20, Jose AlarconSanchez, 18, and Anderson Derce Lara, 25. The Dallas police stated that Acevedo and AlarconSanchez were detained concerning the widely shared New Year’s Eve gunfire incident, while Lara faces charges related to a separate road-rage shooting that involved children.

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. Police say Derce Lara fired multiple rounds into a vehicle carrying three adults and three children, narrowly missing the victims.

With assistance from the ATF, investigators executed a search warrant and recovered multiple firearms, including rifles matching those seen in the viral bridge video, further tying Derce Lara to both incidents.

Police said Acevedo has been released on bond, while AlarconSanchez and Derce Lara are being held on immigration detainers.

“If you put lives at risk in Dallas, we will identify you, investigate thoroughly, and hold you accountable,” Dallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux said.

The investigation remains ongoing.
