On December 23, 2023, 23-year-old Steven Alarcon was shot and killed in the parking lot of the Top Crop cannabis dispensary at 2240 E. Lohman Avenue in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Officers who responded shortly after 11 p.m. found Alarcon dead in the lot after an altercation earlier that evening.

Police say Alarcon had been in a verbal argument with Jesus Adan Herrera, who was driving a blue GMC Sierra 1500. Alarcon attempted to flee but collapsed; the GMC Sierra left the scene before officers arrived.

On January 23, 2024, Las Cruces police arrested Altamirano on a warrant charging him with second-degree murder in connection with Alarcon’s death; Herrera was also arrested for his involvement. Few details about motive or events leading up to the argument have been released. Does anyone have information about what happened that night or saw the vehicle in the parking lot?
