Las Cruces Area Murder Under Investigation

  Doña Ana County Sheriff’s deputies were called to the East Mesa area in Las Cruces just after 2 a.m. Saturday in response to a 20-year-old male who had reportedly been stabbed.  This is the second homicide in Doña Ana County this year. 

            The incident happened in the 7500 block of El Centro. Deputies had responded to that address earlier that same night when neighbors reported a loud party. The second time they were called back was after a 911 call to dispatch alerted authorities to a stabbing.

            The victim was airlifted to an El Paso-area hospital, where he died during surgery.

The identity of the victim will be released pending notification of family members.

            Sheriff’s detectives spent several hours collecting evidence and interviewing people who were at the party. No arrests have been made.
