Investigation Underway Into Fatal Shooting In Deming

 

DEMING, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico State Police are overseeing the investigation of a fatal shooting at a gathering inside a Deming residence.

An altercation followed and one of the home's occupants shot Pena.

Deming police responded to the scene and had Pena and a woman was also shot taken to a hospital.

Pena died from his injuries. The woman, who was with Pena, remained in critical condition Monday.
