Alvarez was booked into the Cameron County detention center, according to the Cameron County Sheriff's Office. 

"These perpetrators have been using hand guns to commit their violence, their crimes," Cameron County District Attorney Luis Saenz said. "So I'm very concerned and very alarmed by that trend we're seeing of young people with guns, shooting and killing other young people," 

The Torres family is waiting on an answer from the Texas attorney general to receive help from the county's crime victim's unit to pay for his funeral.
