EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — A late Friday night shooting left three dead and 15 injured at a park in Las Cruces, New Mexico, according to police.

Las Cruces Police said two 19-year-old men and one 16-year-old boy were killed.

Police responded to a shooting with “multiple gunshot victims” a little after 10 p.m. at Young Park, the spokesman said.

Names of the deceased and those who were injured will not be released at this time, Las Cruces Police said.

The injured range in age from 16 years to 36 years old, according to police.

Police Chief Jeremy Story said that there was an unsanctioned car show before the shooting. There was a confrontation between two groups of people which escalated and gunfire was exchanged, he said.

There is a photo of person holding an AR-15 rifle that is circulating on social media. That person has been interviewed and is not believed to be involved, Story added.

Multiple gun casings found at the scene belonged to handguns and not a rifle, Story said.

Las Cruces Police are receiving assistance from New Mexico State Police, the Dona Ana County Sheriff’s Office, the FBI and agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
