FINAL UPDATE: Two men were arrested after allegedly shooting and killing a man near Cincinnati Entertainment District on Friday, June 9.
Police have also identified the victim of the shooting as Mark Anthony Carlisle, 25.
Police say a warrant was obtained for Madoc Gaither, 20, for an offense of murder with a $1.5 million bond.
Gaither was taken into custody at the 900 Block of N. Zaragoza and later booked into the El Paso County Detention Facility.
Levi Merridith Hemley, 18, was also taken into custody at the 900 Block of N. Zaragoza after a warrant was issued with an offense of murder with a $1 million bond. Hemley was also charged with evading arrest/detention with an additional $1,500 bond after allegedly fleeing from officers.
Hemley was later booked into the El Paso County Detention Facility.
Gaither was previously arrested along with two others after a shooting happened at a house party in far East El Paso last year in July.
As KTSM has previously reported, Gaither and the two others allegedly fired multiple rounds at the guests of the house party and fled the scene.
Four people were injured as a result of the shooting. Police say the incident was a random act of violence and not a targeted shooting.
Gaither was charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
UPDATE: Police say a 25-year-old man and another individual walked out of PROFE Cantina and crossed Mesa Street toward the parking lot in front of the Corralito Steak House when a person shot the 25-year-old man.
The 25-year-old man was taken to a local hospital where he later died as a result of his injuries.
Police say at the time of the incident, another shooting occurred at the corner of Mesa Street and Baltimore Drive. Police say both shootings occurred “pretty close” to each other in time but cannot confirm if they were related.
Police say the suspect fled the scene and the call came in at around 2:18 a.m. Friday.
A spokesperson with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) confirmed with KTSM they are investigating this incident along with a shooting that took place outside the bar on May 12.
TABC shared the violation history from PROFE Cantina, which shows six violations since 2019. PROFE Cantina received a written warning in May for failure to provide timely records and the most recent public safety violation was a charge for failure to report a breach of the peace in December 2021, for which they paid a $600 fine.
