On Friday, Jan. 31, a man shot two residents at Lobo Village and fled the scene with four other people.
The victims were taken to the hospital with non-fatal injuries, according to University of New Mexico Chief Marketing and Communications Officer Cinnamon Blair. There is no new information about the suspects, and witnesses are still being interviewed as of Sunday, Feb. 2, she said.
“If anybody has video, was there or has any information that they can share, they should contact UNMPD,” Blair said.
A LoboAlert first notified the campus community of an aggravated battery at 11:59 p.m. the night of the incident. Three follow-up alerts were sent, including one that described the suspect and four other men he fled with, all of whom are men in their late teens or early 20s.
The day after the shooting, an email from Lobo Village notified its residents that a no-guest policy would be implemented immediately. The shooting was at a “gathering onsite,” according to the email.
“Your safety is our top priority, and we are committed to maintaining a secure environment for everyone in our community,” the email reads.
Blair was unable to verify where the shooting occurred, but the suspects were last seen fleeing from Building #5 on the northeast corner of the Lobo Village complex, according to the alert.
