TABC agents apprehend suspected shooter following incident at El Paso bar that injured two

EL PASO, Texas - One person is behind bars after he was apprehended by agents of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission following a shooting at an El Paso bar early Saturday morning.

Trevion Kimbrough, 26, was arrested by the El Paso Police Department and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He is currently being held in the El Paso County Jail.

The shooting took place at Tipsy Tiger, a bar located in the 11300 block of Montwood Drive. A team of TABC agents were outside the business at around 3 a.m. when they observed a fight break out on the bar's patio area. During the fight, one person drew and fired a firearm. Two people were injured, with one requiring transport to a local hospital.

The shooter fled the scene on foot and was later apprehended by TABC agents approximately half a block from the bar. TABC agents kept the suspected shooter in custody until El Paso police arrived on the scene.

"I couldn't be prouder of the agents whose quick thinking and decisive actions undoubtedly prevented this incident from spiraling into more serious injuries or loss of life," TABC Executive Director Thomas Graham said. "I'm grateful to our El Paso enforcement team and our local law enforcement partners."

Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon is a second-degree felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. The case remains under investigation by the El Paso Police Department and TABC.
