Murder Suspect Still Hospitalized In New Mexico

  A man wanted in Mississippi for murder remains hospitalized nearly a week after a shootout with New Mexico authorities east of Lordsburg.

New Mexico State Police said Saturday that 23-year-old D'Juan Holloway remains in stable condition at a Texas hospital.

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.

Investigators say evidence indicates Holloway fired two handguns at officers. A shootout ensued after Holloway's vehicle stopped on the highway.

Authorities say six officers from the different agencies fired their weapons during the incident.

Mississippi officials say Holloway is accused of fatally shooting 19-year-old Raymond Howze III, of Gulfport, and then fleeing in a stolen car on Jan. 11.
