Deming Police Chief Alex Valdespino said officers responded to a shots-fired call in the 2200 block of S. Gold at about 4 p.m. Sunday to discover a man lying on the ground and a woman, who had been shot in her left shoulder, walking around.
Valdespino said the man had not been shot, but had a head wound.
Both victims, who were not immediately identified, were airlifted to a trauma center in El Paso, TX.
Valdespino said detectives are working with the Sixth Judicial District Attorney’s office as the investigation proceeds, but no arrests have been made and no gun was located at the scene.
He encouraged anyone with information on the shooting to contact Lt. Det. Sergio Lara at the Deming Police Department. That number is 546-3011.
