LAS CRUCES (AP) - Two 16-year-old boys have been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting near Las Cruces, according to authorities. 

New Mexico State Police said 17-year-old Benjamin Archuleta was wounded by gunfire from another vehicle on Interstate 25 and was pronounced dead at a hospital March 3rd.  

The vehicle's driver and passenger who is the suspected shooter, were later arrested and their names were being withheld because they are both juveniles, police said. 

Police said the two teens are facing charges of first-degree murder, shooting from at or from a motor vehicle resulting in great bodily harm and assault with intent to commit a violent felony. 

According to the Las Cruces Sun-News, Archuleta was enrolled at Las Cruces High School but had dropped out before the shooting occurred.
