A late-night quarrel at a quinceanera in Farmington escalated into a fatal shooting in the early hours of August 31, 2025. Police say a dispute at the party involved 15-year-old Lamar White and 21-year-old Julian Jaramillo; the conflict continued later near East Murray Drive and Camina Entrada around 1:54 a.m. Officers found three people with gunshot wounds and transported them to San Juan Regional Medical Center. Lamar White and 19-year-old Jesse Hensley were pronounced dead; a third person suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Investigators report that Lamar White produced a firearm and shot Jesse Hensley, who was unarmed. In the aftermath, another person, identified in some reports as Jesse Hensley’s brother Bill Hensley, allegedly shot Lamar White; a police report says Bill Hensley admitted to shooting White after seeing his brother shot. Multiple spent shell casings from different calibers were recovered, and a search of White’s vehicle turned up alcohol and ammunition. No arrests had been announced and the investigation remained ongoing.
