23-year-old David O. Velasquez Jr wasn’t entertained at the Las Cruces Dublin’s Street Pub and fired his .40 caliber handgun at or from a moving vehicle.
Officers arrived on scene and found five spent shell casings on Wisconsin Avenue, behind the pub, and located the Hummer in the pub’s parking lot. Velasquez was with friends inside the pub but was detained as he attempted to walk away from the area.
One of the passengers inside the Hummer told police that Velasquez fired several rounds from the vehicle because he was bored and wanted to shoot his gun. It appears that he did not have an intended target and no injuries were reported.
Officers obtained permission to search the Hummer, where they found a .40-caliber handgun under a floor mat in the rear seat area. Velasquez was transported to the Dona Ana County Detention Center with bond set at $5,000.
