Arrest warrant issued for Anthony stabbing suspect; reward offered
Doña Ana County Sheriff’s detectives have issued an arrest warrant for a man wanted in connection to a stabbing in Anthony over the weekend.
Ezequiel Gonzales, 25, is wanted for the stabbing of a 23 year-old man attending a large gathering at a residence in the 800 block of Golf Course Road sometime after 1 A.M. Saturday, August 25th.

Gonzales is charged with aggravated battery causing bodily harm.
