LAS CRUCES – A transient man living out of his van was found crushed under his vehicle last week behind Walmart Supercenter on Rinconada Boulevard.
Dennis James White Jr., 34, has been traveling and living on his own for about 13 years. Family members say he would spend a few months in a state before moving on to the next.
White s Toyota van was parked behind the Las Cruces Walmart while he did some maintenance on his vehicle. According to Las Cruces police, White seemed to have been working under the van, which was propped up on two steel jacks, last week. It appears that a jack slipped, dropping the van and crushing White.
