Scott Street for awhile. Then Bonds and Solier around 5:05 a.m. backed up with extended arms holding firearms while also firing multiple gunshots at Alva Jr. who was unarmed. The suspects then fled the scene.
A woman who accompanied Alva Jr. told police that she and Alva Jr. were at a bar and one of the suspects had gotten into an argument with Alva Jr..
Police recovered 10 spent cartridges where Alva Jr. was fatally shot.
Solier was taken into custody in July 2021 and Bonds in May 2021.
