A man wanted in Mississippi for murder is hospitalized after a shootout with New Mexico authorities east of Lordsburg.
New Mexico State Police said Tuesday that 23-year-old D'Juan Holloway remains in stable condition at a Texas hospital.
They say the Gulfport police had issued a warrant for Holloway's arrest for capital murder and carjacking.
State Police officers along with New Mexico Motor Transportation police, Lordsburg police and Hidalgo County Sheriff's deputies were involved in a pursuit Monday afternoon after Holloway was spotted on Interstate 10.
Authorities say Holloway fired at officers and a shootout ensued after Holloway's vehicle stopped on the highway.
Holloway was transported to Gila Regional Medical Center in Silver City, New Mexico before being airlifted to the University Medical Center in El Paso, Texas.
