Jesse Dalton Hensley was 19 and from Farmington, New Mexico when he was killed in the early hours of August 31, 2025. Police say a group had gathered near East Murray Drive and Camina Entrada shortly before 2 a.m. and an altercation erupted. During the confrontation, 15-year-old Lamar White produced a firearm and shot Hensley, who was unarmed. A third person was also struck and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

According to investigators, chaos followed and another individual then shot Lamar White; both Hensley and White died at the scene. Detectives processed the area and began reconstructing timelines from witness accounts and physical evidence. The community released memorials and obituaries for Hensley in the days after the shooting. As of mid-September 2025, police had not announced arrests; investigators identified White as the shooter who struck Hensley but had not charged the person who shot White and continued to seek tips and review evidence.
