New Mexico Leaders Confront Crime After Las Cruces Park Shooting
Following the Friday night deadly shooting at Young Park in Las Cruces that killed three teens and wounded 15, police arrested Tomas Rivas and three teens for murder. Governor Lujan Grisham defended tough juvenile crime measures while lawmakers debated HB 134 to charge youths as adults, but the bill stalled. Democrats hailed public safety bills like HB 8 expanding anti racketeering charges and fentanyl theft actions, while Republicans urged a special session to address crime and health care. Martinez and Wirth defended the session as a hard won effort toward violence reduction.
