20: MURDER: Las Cruces Bowling Alley Massacre

Detective Perspective

On the morning of February 10, 1990, two armed men entered a Las Cruces, New Mexico bowling alley. They rounded up the two employees and two young girls that were already inside, and forced them all into the main office. Minutes later, another employee arrived with his two daughters and they were also taken into the office. The gunmen then shot all seven people multiple times and set the office on fire before fleeing the bowling alley.

Remarkably, three victims survived and later helped create detailed sketches of the two gunmen. But, even with the sketches, the gunmen remain unidentified to this day. It’s been more than 33 years since the Las Cruces Bowling Alley Massacre occurred, and investigators are still searching for the men responsible…
Anyone with information should call Las Cruces Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or go to NMCrimeStoppers.org. There is a reward available.
