Marcos Fino Jr., 32, was killed in a road rage incident, and police have arrested Raul Alberto Orozco, 53, and his two sons, Jose Alberto Orozco, 28, and Cristian Bradley Orozco, 21.
The incident happened on Doniphan Drive near Montoya Road at around 6 p.m. on Tuesday, the police said. According to the police report, Raul Orozco, who was driving a truck, and Fino, who was driving a sedan, got into a “road rage” incident on Doniphan Drive.
Raul Orozco started following Fino, who was in a car with three other people. A police statement claims that throughout the pursuit, Orozco called his sons for assistance. The two sons allegedly stopped Fino’s car in at Montoya Road with their vehicle, while their father blocked the car from behind with his truck.

According to the police, a disagreement between the Orozco brothers and Fino and a man who was a passenger in Fino’s car escalated into a physical altercation in the street. Police said that during the altercation, Jose Orozco shot Fino.
According to authorities, the Orozcos fled the scene and then contacted police from Montoya Road. A passenger in the vehicle hailed down a police cruiser on Doniphan Drive, close to Artcraft Road, as he hurried to get Fino medical attention. In the gunfight, Fino lost his life.
