ATF Offers $5,000 Reward After Fatal Las Cruces Road Rage Shooting

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), in collaboration with the Las Cruces Police Department and Crime Stoppers of Las Cruces-Doña Ana County, is offering a combined reward of up to $7,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect responsible for the June 2 road rage shooting death of 14-year-old Alejandro Roman. Roman was shot while sitting in the backseat of a vehicle near Solano Drive and Spruce Avenue in Las Cruces and died at the scene. The suspect is described as a male driving a white mid-size sport utility vehicle, possibly a 2018-2022 model, such as a Honda Odyssey or similar minivan or SUV, and was the lone occupant of the vehicle. Police believe the suspect may have altered his routine after the shooting by concealing the vehicle or avoiding public appearances and may be unusually interested in the investigation or social media updates. Authorities have released images and video of the suspect's vehicle and are urging anyone who recognizes the vehicle or suspicious behavior in someone they know to come forward. Tips can be submitted anonymously through multiple channels including phone, email, the ATF website, and the Reportit app.
