LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The man accused of walking into a south valley grocery store and killing his ex and her new husband made his first court appearance facing those charges Monday morning.

Alejandro Estrada is facing multiple charges, including open murder with a deadly weapon, eight counts of discharging a gun within a structure and aggravated stalking.

He was arrested last Tuesday after multiple shots rang out inside of a Smith's store on Maryland Parkway that morning.

The shooting left Amanda and Victor Frias Rosas dead. Amanda and Estrada had two children, court documents noted.

In court Monday morning, Judge Amy Wilson said that Estrada created extreme danger not only to the victims but to the public with his actions.
