Dad and son arrested in double murder (Dallas, Texas)

I'm going to put myself out on a limb and make a real bold assertion: I don't think the son of JOHN DAVID ALARDIN has really prospered under Daddy's wing and general influence. Not when father and son commit a double murder together.

A father and son were arrested this morning in last night's double murder at 2700 Andrea Lane.
John David Alardin, 38, (on the left) and John David Reza Jr., 19, face charges of capital murder.

They are being held in the Dallas County Jail.

Dallas police say they fatally shot Mario Garcia, 23, and Rafael Pacheco, 21.

Police say the victims had been in an ongoing feud with the family of Alardin and Reza.

Before the shooting, the victims had thrown a rock through the window of a car parked at the father and son's house on Andrea Lane, said Dallas police homicide Sgt. Ray Beaudreault.

They left but returned to the home later, about 10 p.m. Wednesday.

"As they drove up and got out of their cars, they started walking towards the residence," Beaudreault said.

Police reports say Reza armed himself with an assault rifle, Alardin with a shotgun. They started firing, police say.

Beaudreault said the victims were not armed. Another man was with them, but ran away unharmed. Investigators are not sure what the feud was about, but it was not gang-related, the sergeant said.

"It's been ongoing for a long period of time," Beaudrault said. "We're still trying to figure out exactly why it started and when it started."
