LCPD arrest man suspected in shooting outside Albertson’s

The man suspected in Saturday’s shooting in the parking lot of an Albertson’s grocery store has been arrested and charged with multiple felonies, Las Cruces police said.

31-year-old Adam “Miklo” Alvarez, is charged with one count of Shooting at or from a Motor Vehicle, one count of Child Abuse and two counts of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon. He also faces one misdemeanor count of Negligent Use of a Deadly Weapon.

The shooting happened at about 5 p.m. Saturday, May 6th in the Albertsons grocery store at 2501 N. Main St. Officers arrived to find evidence of a shooting and multiple witnesses. No one was injured.

Investigators learned Alvarez was inside the Albertsons store when he got into an argument with two men. The argument continued into the parking lot where Alvarez allegedly retrieved a handgun from a white Oldsmobile Alero and started firing at the men as they drove away, police said.

The rounds struck two vehicles, one of which was occupied by a 6-year-old girl, police added.

Alvarez, with two other people, fled the parking lot in the Oldsmobile Alero.

Las Cruces Police investigators obtained a warrant for Alvarez’s arrest.

Dona Ana County Sheriff’s Office deputies located Alvarez Monday morning south of Las Cruces. He was arrested on the felony warrant and booked into the Dona Ana County Detention Center where he’s being held on a $100,000 cash-only bond.
