Las Cruces police are investigating a shooting that occurred late Saturday during a house party on the 2400 block of Bugatti Drive, leaving one man dead and three people injured.

Officers were dispatched at 11:46 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 15, 2025, after reports of multiple gunshots at a large gathering. When police arrived, they found a 21-year-old man who had been shot at least once. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Three additional victims suffered gunshot wounds and were taken to area hospitals. Their conditions have not been released.

Detectives learned that several people attending the party were seen recording the incident on their cell phones. Investigators believe those videos could be critical in identifying suspects and understanding what led to the shooting.

The Las Cruces Police Department is urging anyone who captured video, or has information about the incident, to contact investigators. Video uploads can be submitted online.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Las Cruces police at 575-526-0795 or share tips anonymously through Crime Stoppers of Las Cruces and Dona Ana County at 1-800-222-8477.
