Las Cruces Man, 25, Booked on Fugitive Charge Following Road Rage Investigation

Allegedly... Julian Valdez, 25, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on April 8, 2026. He is currently held on a felony charge of being a fugitive from justice following an arrest at 28 Jasper. The booking is recorded under number 2600002676, and no bond has been set at this time. According to news reports, the arrest followed a road rage incident where a suspect was observed pointing a firearm at occupants of another vehicle. Court and news records show that Las Cruces police utilized body camera footage during the investigation, which led to Valdez being identified and charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The charges are allegations, and Valdez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
