Ex-Partner Charged After Las Vegas Grocery Store Killings

Records tie the case to a long-running child support dispute.

Overview

  • Police say Alejandro Estrada, 43, opened fire inside a Smith’s in southwest Las Vegas on Tuesday morning, killing Amanda and Victor Frias Rosas, and customers tackled him until officers arrived.
  • Prosecutors charged Estrada with two counts of murder, eight counts of firing a gun inside a building, and one count each of burglary and aggravated stalking with a deadly weapon, with a court appearance set for Wednesday afternoon.
  • Family Court records show an ongoing child support case with arrears just over $2,800 and county lawyers had sought a contempt hearing that was later canceled because of the criminal case.
  • Court records also show Estrada faced two domestic battery counts in 2016 that prosecutors dismissed.
  • The victims, coworkers who married in 2025, left two children ages 12 and 9, and friends launched a GoFundMe to help with funeral costs and care.
