I'm not sure how many of you have seen the documentary but here's some interesting information from it.
If I recall correctly, apparently one of the sons of the bowling alley owner either owed a debt or did something to anger a drug gang. A Cuban drug gang lived right next to the bowling alley before the 1990 massacre. Right after the massacre, a police roadblock stopped a car with four men with a large amount of cash, the witness who came up with the composite sketches determined they none of the men were the ones he saw. The witness was related to the bowling alley owner. He was golfing in Mississippi at the time and denied any involvement.
My theory is that this Cuban drug gang hired two professional hitmen and none of the victims were the intended targets. I feel that the hitmen went completely overboard and were considered a liability to the organization they worked for and were killed. It is very rare for Latin American drug cartel members to commit such violence in the United States unless a major turf war is occuring (ex. what happened to Miami and NYC during the 80s-early 90s)

I didn't see the documentary but remember now about the Cuban drug gang. If the two hitmen didn't know the intended targets and were killed, it doesn't give me much hope this case will be ever solved.

Not an update on the case, but I just wanted to add that AMW also profiled the Las Cruces Bowling Alley Murders in 2004, and during that broadcast John Walsh said the case had been profiled in 1994. I suspect AMW probably first aired the case circa 1991, though I have no proof of this.

I remember about the case being aired back in 2004 and about the mention of the drug cartel too, so I wouldn't be astonished that it was a drug related murder. I haven't heard nor seen nothing new since the airing of the case |

I remember reading an article that detectives initially believed the case was a random robbery, but they later received information that the two killers were from out of state and had been sent to Las Cruces Bowl as part of a hit. Not all of the evidence escaped with the robbers: they were able to get fingerprints they are fairly certain came from the robbers.

Does anyone know of a computer system between Mexico and the US that compares latents? Reason I ask, the LCPD has been clear that they think they were able to lift fingerprints from the safe that belonged to the killers, but they haven't had luck finding anyone in the US to match them to. If the killers did flee to Mexico, odds are they were picked up for something else. |

What I did find was a 2011 FBI article that mentions there is some type of Mexican fingerprint database that has been used to identify fugitives and drug cartel suspects. www.fbi.gov/news/stories/biometrics-sharing-initiative |

This people from what I have observed (setting a fire, the way they rounded up all of the victims) the suspects appear to have done this before. I wouldn't be surprised if they have done something similar in Mexico (assuming they fled there).

I don't know as to if this is on (or off topic about this case) but I last night came across an article about the bowling alley where the massacre had taken place decades ago in New Mexico and I found out (that is if nobody else did) that the bowling alley has been shut down. I don't know as to if it went bankrupt or the bloody history of it was way too much that it shut down completely. They did however (the bowling alley) changed their name from Las Cruces Bowl to the 10 Pin Alley according/as can be seen in the attached article............ kfoxtv.com/news/local/bowling-alley-in-las-cruces-shuts-doors-saturday(The bowling alley was shut down this very recent June of this year 2018). |
