Episode: Blood on the Lanes — The Las Cruces Bowling Alley Massacre

On February 10, 1990, an ordinary Sunday morning at a Las Cruces bowling alley turned into one of the most disturbing mass shootings in New Mexico history.

Seven people were shot execution-style. Five would ultimately lose their lives — including one victim who survived for nearly a decade before dying from complications related to her injuries. Two survived, one of them a 12-year-old girl who, despite being shot five times, managed to call 911.

Thirty-five years later, the case remains unsolved.

In this long-form episode of Blurred Lines, we take a careful, fact-focused deep dive into the Las Cruces Bowling Alley Massacre — a case that has been widely misreported for decades. Victim names have been confused, survivor accounts blurred, and key details repeated incorrectly.

This episode sets the record straight.

We walk through:

• Who was inside the bowling alley that morning
• What is known — and what is still unknown — about the attack
• The bravery of a child whose 911 call saved lives
• The long-term impact on survivors and the community
• Why is one victim officially recognized as a fatality years later
• How misinformation has shaped public understanding of the case
• The current status of the investigation and the standing reward

This is not speculation. This is not sensationalism. This is a deliberate, respectful reconstruction of a case still waiting for justice.

If you have information related to this case, a $25,000 reward is still being offered through Crime Stoppers of Las Cruces–Doña Ana County.

Sometimes the truth lives in the blurred lines.
