A man from Las Vegas is facing charges of double homicide following a tragic incident where he allegedly shot and killed his former wife and her new spouse at their workplace on Tuesday.
According to law enforcement, 43-year-old Alejandro Estrada walked into the Smith’s grocery store, where the couple was employed, and began shooting immediately. Courageous customers intervened, subduing Estrada until officers could arrive and take him into custody.
The victims, identified as Amanda Rosas and Victor Frias Rosas, were declared dead at the scene of the crime.
Amanda Rosas had married Victor last year, but unresolved issues with Estrada persisted, notably a contentious custody dispute over their children, aged 12 and 9. Court documents reveal that Estrada was in arrears, owing over $2,800 in child support, as reported by the New York Post.
The tragic shooting occurred on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, inside a Las Vegas grocery store, claiming the lives of 40-year-old Amanda Frias Rosas and her husband. A GoFundMe page has been set up in their memory.
Authorities report that Estrada was armed with multiple weapons during the attack. He currently 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 incident comes just 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 reported 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 found 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 (LVMPD) 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 had resulted in his punching walls and trash cans” and had been participating in anger management classes, according to the outlet.
