Shortly before 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, April 14, Las Cruces police were dispatched to the report of a shooting that occurred at a home on the 4900 block of Calle Bella Court. Officers arrived to find a 26-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his leg. The victim was transported to a local hospital with injuries believed to be non-life-threatening.
Police have reason to believe the suspect was also injured during the incident. Video and still photos appear to show the suspect bleeding from his left arm.
Las Cruces police obtained doorbell camera video from neighboring homes that recorded the suspect walk toward the victim’s home before the shooting and away from it afterwards. Police found video of a gray or brown Ford Explorer that’s believed to have picked up the suspect after the shooting.
