Las Cruces police name shooting victim as investigation continues

Posted

The Las Cruces Police Department released the name of a man killed in a shooting last month following an inquiry from the Las Cruces Bulletin.

Police said Jose Antonio Juarez III, 29, was killed on Feb. 15, while a 34-year-old man was hospitalized following a shooting. The shooting happened at a home on Graham Street around 4 a.m. A city spokesperson confirmed that LCPD is investigating the incident as a homicide.

According to publicly available obituaries, Juarez was known as “Joey” to his friends and family.

“His love for music, movies and contagious laugh will be the loving memories that we will always cherish. Joey was a sports fan, his favorite teams, the San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Cubs, and especially the Pittsburgh Steelers, just like his father,” the obituary read.

Police asked anyone with information about the incident to contact them at (575) 526-0795.
