Las Cruces Police are continuing to investigate Wednesday’s drive-by shooting that injured a man at the intersection of Don Roser Drive and Missouri Avenue.
Police were dispatched to the report of gunshots fired at the intersection at about 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 11. Officers located shell casings in the intersection but no victim.
A few minutes later, a 23-year-old man with at least one gunshot wound was dropped off at Memorial Medical Center. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
