On February 10, 1990, six-year-old Paula Holguin was killed in the Las Cruces Bowling Alley massacre in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Two unidentified gunmen entered Las Cruces Bowl that morning, rounded up seven people — including Paula, her father Steven Teran, and her two-year-old sister Valerie — and shot them execution-style. The attackers then set fire to the office in an apparent attempt to destroy evidence.

The massacre remains unsolved. The identities of the two gunmen have never been determined, and despite multiple investigations and public appeals the case has gone cold. Law enforcement and the victims’ families continue to seek answers and justice for Paula and the others killed.

If anyone witnessed the attack or has information that could help identify the gunmen, please come forward to the Las Cruces Police Department.
