    LAS CRUCES — An unidentified man is dead and another injured after being shot by Las Cruces police Thursday morning. The shooting took place on Walnut Street, across from Lynn Community Middle School, close to the location of the March 21 Young Park shooting but not apparently related to that incident. Details on what took place are scarce as the Las Cruces Police Department and a multiagency officer-involved incident task force begin the first stages of an investigation.

    LAS CRUCES — Federal dollars originally intended to aid recovery from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have been used in Las Cruces since 2023 to help small businesses repair damage from property crimes such as vandalism. With American Rescue Plan Act dollars still unspent, the Las Cruces City Council voted Monday to double the individual grant awards available for applicants and to lift a limit on how many times business owners may apply.
