UNM Shooting suspect arrested in Los Lunas
LOS LUNAS, N.M. — The suspect involved in a fatal shooting on the University of New Mexico (UNM) campus has been taken into custody by U.S. Marshals in Los Lunas, according to law enforcement officials.
The arrest follows a violent incident that occurred early Friday morning at the Casas del Rio student housing complex on the UNM campus.
The University of New Mexico Police Department (UNMPD) initially responded to reports of gunfire and discovered two individuals suffering from gunshot wounds.
One of the victims was pronounced dead at the scene, while the second was transported for medical treatment with non-life-threatening injuries.
As a precaution, UNM officials issued an immediate campus lockdown and a shelter-in-place order, fearing the suspect may still have been in the vicinity.
The New Mexico State Police (NMSP) later assumed control of the investigation.
The shelter-in-place has since been lifted, though the crime scene remains active and under investigation.
Students residing in the Gila building, where the shooting is believed to have occurred on the second floor, reported hearing four to five gunshots shortly before midnight.
Several students described the incident as “one of the scariest experiences of their lives,” noting they witnessed people fleeing the building toward a nearby parking lot.
Throughout Friday, UNMPD conducted a staged, tactical evacuation of students from the impacted residence halls to ensure their safety.
Officials advised any remaining individuals on campus to stay in place unless directed otherwise by law enforcement.
According to the university’s website, new student orientation was underway at the time of the incident.
Additionally, freshman members of the UNM football team were staying on the fourth floor of the residence hall this summer.
At this time, authorities have not confirmed whether any UNM students—new or returning—were directly involved in the shooting.
Details regarding the identity of the suspect and victims have not been released.
The motive and circumstances surrounding the shooting remain under investigation by the New Mexico State Police.
Anyone with relevant information is urged to contact the UNM Police Department at (505) 277-2241 or Albuquerque Metro Crime Stoppers at (505) 843-7867. Anonymous tips can also be submitted via the Crime Stoppers app or through their website at www.crimestoppersnm.com.
City of Hammond, Louisiana — At approximately 11:50 p.m. on February 24, 2026, officers with the Hammond Police Department responded to a report of shots fired involving one possible victim.
Upon arrival, officers located a 14-year-old juvenile female, identified as Tyronai Reed, suffering from an apparent gunshot wound.
Emergency medical assistance was rendered at the scene, and she was transported to North Oaks Health System for treatment.
Despite life-saving efforts, Reed later succumbed to her injuries.
