Police have arrested multiple suspects over a mass shooting in New Mexico over the weekend.
A harrowing scene unfolded in a Las Cruces park late Friday evening.
Gunshots rang out at what authorities described as an unauthorized car show.
According to the Associated Press, the mass shooting incident at Young Park left three dead and 15 injured.
The victims ranged in age from 16 to 36.
Reporting from the Daily Mail indicates that the violence erupted between two groups of attendees at the unsanctioned event, who were said to have had existing tensions.
Heated words among those involved escalated into gunfire, with at least 50-60 shots fired, based on forensic evidence recovered at the scene.
Upwards of 200 individuals could be seen fleeing from the shooters, seeking cover anywhere they could, though ultimately, three were fatally wounded and 15 others sustained wounds of one degree or another.
Authorities later reported that those killed included a 16-year-old boy and two 18-year-old adult males.
Though identities of the deceased victims were not immediately released, it has since been revealed that the youngest of those killed in the melee was Andrew “AJ” Madrid, a sophomore baseball player on the Centennial High School
