The shooting happened about 10 hours on Friday on Young Park Parking Parking in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Police confirmed two 19-year-olds and one 16-year-old boy died in shooting. Their names were not released.

They are injured between the ages of 16 and 36.
Witnesses said New York Times That about 200 people gathered in the park for an event that takes place per month, where modified sports drivers show their vehicles. There was a “atmosphere similar to a party”, according to the newspapers.
The opening reported “the transition before the shooting rang” and people fled for the cover. There was no words about what was caused by an argument.
The young park and surrounding roads nearby were closed while investigators were at the scene.
