EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) -- Two court documents obtained by KTSM detail that an El Paso Police officer who has since been fired threatened to "shoot up" a woman's home and that he allegedly tried to choke a woman in a separate incident. Joshua Anthony Gallardo, an El Paso Police officer, was officia lly fired by the El Paso Police Department on Thursday, March 27, a department spokesperson said. El Paso Police officer with history of assault officially fired Gallardo, age 29, had allegedly choked and punched a woman while he was driving back in 2023, as previously reported by KTSM. According to jail records obtained by KTSM, there were three filings against Gallardo in 2024 and three this year. We obtained two court documents that resulted in arrest warrants being issued for Gallardo in two separate incidents -- one in February 2024 and the other in January of this year. In the first, a 29-year-old female victim told detectives that she had an argument with her boyfriend, identified as Gallardo, who had been drinking with friends. This alleged incident happened on Feb. 11, 2024 and the victim met with detectives about two weeks later on Feb. 26 to detail what happened. The female victim said she found messages on his phone from another woman, according to court documents. Gallardo and the woman began to argue and the woman laid down on the bed with her back to Gallardo in an attempt to end the argument and go to sleep, the court document said. The defendant then "embraced" the victim from behind with his arm on her chest, according to the court document. The man began to tighten his grip and applied pressure to her throat to impede her breathing, the document said. The victim told detectives she slapped the man's arm and told him to stop but he continued to apply pressure until she could not breathe or talk, the court document said. The victim struggled with her whole body and "kicked backwards with her legs" to free herself, the court documents said. The suspect then accused the woman of "kicking him in the balls" and left the apartment, the document said. In this incident, a judge issued a warrant for assault with the intent to impede breathing or circulation.

On Jan. 17 of this year, a female victim, also described as a 29-year-old, told detectives about an incident in which Gallardo became increasingly upset with her because she did not attend a quinceañera party with him. The victim said at the time they were no longer in a relationship with each other. The woman told detectives she went to a church event and the suspect, Gallardo, began to text her and asked why she was late to the quinceañera party. The woman then went out to have dinner with friends and Gallardo kept demanding to know where she was and began to threaten to go over to her home, court documents said. The victim told him not to come by her home, the court document stated. The victim said as she was driving home that night, Gallardo continued to call her repeatedly and left a voice message that he was going to go over to her home and "shoot her place up," according to court documents. The victim played the voicemail for detectives, according to court documents. According to court documents, Gallardo mumbled something at first but then could be heard to say, "You made it worse than what it is. Now I am going to go to your house and I'm gonna (expletive) shoot that place up." The victim told detectives that she was in fear for her life, especially since Gallardo was an El Paso Police officer. Victim told detectives that she called Gallardo's mother for help and his mother got him to calm down, court documents said. The victim said that he did not end up showing up to her house that night and stopped calling. In this incident, a judge issued an arrest warrant for making terroristic threats with fear of imminent serious bodily injury. Gallardo was placed on administrative leave last year, according to El Paso Police. He was a two-year veteran assigned to the Mission Valley Regional Command Center. ...read more read less
