On January 17, 2024, at approximately 8 PM, a tragic incident occurred at the Steele Village RV park in Alvin, Texas. The Alvin Police Department responded to reports of a shooting in the 700 block of Steele Road. Upon arrival, officers discovered two young men who had been fatally shot and another individual who was injured.
One of the victims was identified as Kalvin Carrasco, a 17-year-old resident of Alvin.
The other deceased victim was Aydin Torres, also 17 years old and from Alvin. The circumstances surrounding their deaths were initially unclear, but authorities immediately launched an investigation into what they classified as a double homicide.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, law enforcement reported that the suspect or suspects had fled the scene in a blue car. Initially, police were searching for at least four suspects in connection with the crime.
Two weeks after the incident, on February 1, 2024, the Alvin Police Department made a significant breakthrough in the case. They arrested 17-year-old Xzavier Flores of Alvin at his home. Flores was charged with Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, and his bond was set at $200,000.
However, the investigation did not end with Flores' arrest. Alvin Police Captain Todd Arendell stated that "More arrests are imminent and updates will follow," indicating that law enforcement believed multiple individuals were involved in the crime.
The case continued to develop, and subsequent reports indicated that additional arrests were made. While specific details about these arrests were not provided in the available information, it was clear that law enforcement was actively pursuing all leads to bring those responsible for the deaths of Kalvin Carrasco and Aydin Torres to justice.
The tragic loss of two young lives sent shockwaves through the Alvin community. As the investigation progressed, authorities worked diligently to piece together the events that led to the fatal shooting at the RV park. The case highlighted the devastating impact of gun violence on young people and their families in the area.
