$25,000 cash reward for information on a 33-year-old Las Cruces Bowl cold case

LAS CRUCES, New Mexico (KVIA) -- February 10, 2023, marks 33 years since seven people were targeted in a mass shooting at a Las Cruces bowling alley, and Las Cruces-Doña Ana County Crime Stoppers is offering a $25,000 cash reward for information that helps identify the two male suspects.

Investigators believe the suspects are Hispanic with dark complexions. Both spoke fluent English.

The victims of the 1990 shooting at Las Cruces Bowl include four children and three adults. Four of the victims died that day. Three of them were children.

On the morning of Saturday, February 10, 1990, two gunmen forced seven victims into an office in the bowling alley before opening fire.

12-year-old Melissia Repass, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, called 911. Las Cruces police and fire found the victims shot execution-style when they arrived on the scene. Three victims - 26-year-old Steven Teran, Teran's 6-year-old daughter Paula Holguin and 13-year-old Amy Hauser - were already dead. Teran's 2-year-old daughter, Valerie Teran, later died at the hospital.

Another victim, Stephanie Senac, who was 34 at the time of the shooting, died nine years later in 1999 due to complications from her injuries.

Investigators believe the suspects stole around $5,000 in cash from the bowling alley before setting fire to the office in what is believed to be an attempt to destroy evidence.
