On the night of March 21, 2025, gunfire broke out at an unsanctioned car meet in Young Park, Las Cruces, New Mexico, attended by about 200 people. The shooting began shortly after 10 p.m. following an altercation between two groups and left three people dead and 15 others wounded. Among those killed was 19-year-old Hispanic male Dominick Angel Estrada, who was taken to MountainView Regional Medical Center and later died of his injuries.

Witnesses described a chaotic scene; a bystander, Toby Mondragon, performed CPR on Dominick while another, Craig Theriault, tried to stem bleeding from a head wound and stayed with him until emergency crews arrived. Law enforcement arrested four suspects: 20-year-old Tomas Rivas and three juveniles, ages 17, 17 and 15. All four face three counts of first-degree murder and additional charges are pending. One 17-year-old, named as Gustavo Dominguez-Puga, is alleged to have shot Dominick multiple times, including a fatal gunshot to the head; police recovered four handguns believed to have been used and say suspects tried to discard firearms after the shooting.

Memorials have been set up at Young Park and the incident has reverberated through the Las Cruces community. If anyone who knew Dominick or witnessed the events that night can help investigators, please come forward with information.
