22 firearms, meth stash seized after police say cousins shot undercover officer in Dallas Caleb Downs
Two cousins have been indicted in a November armed assault on three undercover federal immigration officers in west Oak Cliff that left one officer shot in his arm and hand.
Victor Solorzano (top) and Edgar Solorzano
Edgar Solorzano, 23, and Victor Solorzano, 30, were arrested on Nov. 20, the day after the shooting.
On Nov. 19, authorities seized the Solorzanos’ personal arsenal of 16 pistols, four rifles and two shotguns, along with a collection of ammunition, magazines, suppressors and scopes. Police also seized almost 9 grams of methamphetamine from Edgar Solorzano’s room at his father’s house, according to court documents.
Both men face two counts of assault of a federal officer and one count of intent to distribute methamphetamine. Victor Solorzano is also charged with two counts of using a firearm during a crime of violence and one count of possession of a firearm during a drug trafficking crime.
Edgar Solorzano also faces a charge of using a firearm during a crime of violence.
“The charges in this indictment clearly demonstrate that violent drug traffickers will be vigorously prosecuted by this office, particularly when their violence is directed at law enforcement officers, and the punishment they face upon conviction will be substantial,” U.S. Attorney John Parker said in a written statement.
