16-Year-Old Arrested After Drive-By Shooting Damages Vehicles Near Clovis High School

A 16-year-old teenager was arrested in Clovis, New Mexico, after a drive-by shooting near Clovis High School that damaged three vehicles but caused no injuries. The incident began when a group of teens were seen throwing eggs at a house, and after being confronted, one suspect fired multiple shots from a vehicle, hitting parked cars. Police issued an arrest warrant with charges including shooting at or from a motor vehicle, conspiracy, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a person under age 19, and criminal damage to property. When detectives attempted to arrest the teen at his home, he initially refused to surrender, leading to a two-hour standoff until a search warrant was obtained and executed, after which he surrendered without incident. The suspect was transported to a juvenile detention center in Lovington, and authorities are urging anyone with information to contact the Clovis Police Department or use anonymous tip services. The case highlights concerns about escalating violence stemming from a seemingly minor altercation involving egging a house.
