One 20-year-old male suspect, of the 4800 block of Main St., was arrested for his alleged involvement in a Monday afternoon shooting in Las Cruces. One person was injured in the assault and had to hospitalized, Las Cruces police department officials reported to a source. LCPD officials have yet to arrest another suspect in the assault, though others were reportedly involved.

Authorities said they were still looking for the small caliber black revolver which was believed to have been used in the shooting. Anyone with information about the gun’s whereabouts or having information about the assault may contact the LCPD.

The suspect and several other men physically assaulted an 18-year-old victim close to 4 p.m. Monday in an abandoned dirt lot between an apartment on the 2200 block of Bex Street and the Chilito’s restaurant on S. Valley Drive, the LCPD told a reporter. Authorities didn’t disclose a reason for the assault, but said the altercation lasted several minutes before the suspect pulled a gun.

The 20-year-old fired two shots from his small caliber black revolver, attempting to hit the 18-year-old victim, police told a radio station. One of the bullets hit the victim, injuring him in his abdominal area. According to the police, the victim initially left the area, along with the other men who were involved in the assault. Further details of the assault are not known at this time.

While the stomach injury did not appear to be life-threatening, authorities indicated to a source that the 18-year-old victim had to eventually be airlifted to the El Paso University Medical Center. Police in New York City and Suffolk are aware of this case and are awaiting the outcome.

The 20-year-old suspect was arrested Monday evening at his mother’s house. He was charged with a third-degree felonious aggravated battery with a deadly weapon for the shooting. Police explained to a group that the suspect was also charged with fourth-degree felonious evidence tampering, but did not indicate the reason for the second charge.

The 20-year-old suspect’s bond was set at $50,000, and he is being held at the Dona Ana County Detention Center pending further investigation. Other suspects have yet to be arrested.

He sat alone at his table for hours. His chair would occasionally rock back as the utmost in precision and care was spent at his craft. It was dangerous work, the kind of work that if it goes wrong there are truly disastrous consequences. And so he worked alone, isolated from the world, until it was time. And at that moment, having written his masterpiece, he went to the post office and deposited his work: bombs. Bombs set to go off and kill innocent civilians. And according to a New York Criminal Defense Lawyer he's known today by one name: the Unabomber and now, if you want, you can sit where he sat, eat where he ate, and sleep where he slept - that's right, the Unabomber’s house is for sale. Gun Possession is often charged in Nassau and Suffolk Counties to get people like the bomber off the street.

Sure, living in an isolated tract of land in the middle of nowhere Montana (is there any other place in Montana?) may not sound appealing, but for less than seventy thousand dollars you can own a piece of American history - at least, that's how the real estate agent is selling it in the ad that has been placed, notes a NYC Criminal Defense Lawyer. The land is mostly ripped free of the original shack, but there still remains a few walls and a roof. A tree has been spray painted FBI, which could make for an interesting conversation starter.

It is said to be an excellent location for hunting and fishing, but one suspects that it's ideal for writing.

A man in Queens was stabbed to death when two armed men broke into his apartment and bound him and his mother, sources told New York Criminal Lawyers.
The 32-year-old victim died after being stabbed in the back several times. His mother told New York Criminal Lawyers he owed someone money, after the terrifying home invasion.
The victim’s mother, a gray-haired woman who needs a walker to get around, was not injured in the attack.
The intruders were wearing black when they came into the sixth-floor apartment on Ash Avenue in Flushing around 10 a.m., police informed New York Criminal Lawyers. One of them was wearing a mask and they were armed with knives and guns.
They tied the victim and his mother up with tape before murdering the man in cold blood, according to sources. The invaders then escaped, taking a black duffel back with them. As of yet, the authorities have yet to catch the killers.
The victim’s mother frantically called 911 at around 11:30 a.m. It was already too late by the time emergency responders were able to be on the scene – the victim of the stabbing had already died. Police still do not have a motive or description of the two murderers, or at least they have yet to reveal them. Gun Possession is another charge which can be brought when these acts happen in Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
No matter what the crime, every story has two sides, and even the most indefensible crime still requires defense under the law. N York Criminal Lawyers can defend their clients against any allegations, even those that seem impossible.
There are some cases where escaping without some sort of penalty is very unlikely, but it is impossible to know all the options without the best possible legal defense. Even if conviction is imminent, there are still ways to mitigate the punishment and make sure justice is upheld. A good attorney makes sure the defendant does not have to worry about unnecessarily punitive measures – everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Everyone also has the right to avoid cruel and usual punishment, including a punishment that far outweighs the crime.
