The Spring Valley Police Department has announced the arrest of 20-year-old Anderson J. Alvarado-Jimenez, a resident of Spring Valley, in connection with a disturbing shooting incident that took place on Saturday night, July 19, 2025, at 60 E. Eckerson Road, as first reported by Monsey Scoop.
According to police, Alvarado-Jimenez initially fired a .22 caliber revolver multiple times, striking a parked vehicle. He then left the scene and returned shortly afterward with an assault rifle, opening fire on the same vehicle approximately twenty more times, causing extensive damage.
