Las Cruces Man, 29, Booked on Multiple Probation Violations Following Shooting Reports

Allegedly... Brenden K. Chavez, a 29-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 13, 2026. Chavez faces four counts of probation violation, including two felony and two misdemeanor charges, following arrests at South Espina Street and Copper Loop. He is currently being held without bond under booking number 2600005548. According to news and court records, the arrest follows reports of a shooting incident on Lohman Avenue. Police reports indicate Chavez was accused of pointing a shotgun at a woman and discharging the weapon during the encounter. The current probation violation charges stem from these reported circumstances and prior legal obligations. The charges are allegations, and Chavez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
