At around 3:30am, Arlington PD officers responded to an apartment complex in the 900 block of Terrell Circle to investigate what was initially reported as a fight.
When officers arrived on scene, several people waved them down and pointed them to three men who had gunshot wounds.
All three men — ages 23, 36, and 45 — were transported to area hospitals. All three are expected to survive.
Based on APD’s investigation, it appears two suspects showed up to a party at the location and started a fight. During the fight, one of the suspects retrieved a gun and fired multiple shots. The two suspects then got into a vehicle and left.
As officers were pulling up to the scene, they saw a pickup truck leaving the area at a high rate of speed. Witnesses later identified the pickup as the suspect vehicle.
A BOLO with a description of the pickup was sent out to all sides of town and neighboring agencies. A short time later, we were notified that Mansfield PD and the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office located the vehicle in Mansfield, made a traffic stop, and detained two men inside.
Following a field show up with a witness, who confirmed the two men were the suspects from the shooting, both men were arrested.
19-year-old Alexander Rubio, who was driving the pickup, was booked into the Arlington City Jail on three counts of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon and one count of Fleeing a Police Officer. 40-year-old Cristian Rubio Lora was charged with three counts of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon.
