Authorities say a teenage suspect in a shooting in Las Cruces that critically wounded a neighbor has been detained at a U.S.-Mexico border crossing.
Las Cruces police say the 17-year-old boy was returned to Las Cruces and questioned by investigators before being booked into the Dona Ana County Detention Center.
He's charged with one count of attempted murder and will initially be held without bond.
The teen's identity is not being released by The Associated Press because he's a juvenile.
The 34-year-old victim of the shooting — Pete Limon — remains in critical but stable condition at University Medical Center of El Paso, Texas.
Police say Limon was shot once in the abdomen with a shotgun on Jan. 15 after an argument with the teenage suspect.
