Johnny Burnside Jr, 29, was shot and killed on June 21, 2019, on the 2300 block of Lester Avenue in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The shooting occurred about 3:20 p.m.; another man was wounded by gunfire in the same incident.

Las Cruces police identified and arrested 25-year-old Michael Wood the same Friday as the shooting. Wood was charged with first-degree murder and tampering with evidence and was held at the Doña Ana County Jail without bond.

The case record describes a rapid arrest and charges but does not include further court outcomes. Does anyone have information about Burnside’s movements that afternoon or witnesses who saw the shooting?
