mileage?
last service?
can you replicate it?
did it turn off and start itself or when you tried to start it?
possible partially clogged fuel filter?

any check engine light? can you get the codes read if applicable.
can you determine any common factors between the two instances (ie rainy, gas tank level, heavy acceleration,coasting)

alright well you need to goto your local autozone or equivilant and have the DTC's Diagnostic Trouble Codes read for you.
while those DTCs are a big help and possible answer for your stalling, the ALT light that recently came on is more likely the culprit.
first thing. how old is your battery?
then
check/clean/tighten all batter terminal connections and grounds.
load test the battery
have the alternator/charging system checked if you remove the alternator most places will bench test the alternator for free
