Las Cruces, New Mexico – On March 11, 2021, body cam video shows several officers delivering a large amount of lead at then-25-year-old Jonathan Lamar Strickland near the U.S. Post Office on Las Cruces Avenue in downtown Las Cruces. The incident left both Strickland and an officer injured.

Approximately an hour before the shooting, police bodycam video shows a domestic violence accuser arriving at the Las Cruces Police Department. Just before 8 a.m., the accuser told the officer that Strickland has threatened her life, strangled her, and that she feared for her safety. Shortly after, an orange truck arrives at the department. Officers said Strickland was inside of the vehicle. Police can be overheard in parts of the video explaining that he had three weapons, including two long guns and one handgun.

While the truck was parked at LCPD, officers decided to place several city buildings on lockdown, including the fire department. Officers evacuated parts of the police department and stood ready at the door with guns drawn, in the event that the suspect would approach the building.

When the driver of the orange truck left the police department, multiple officers engaged in a short pursuit that ended just near the U.S. Post Office where one officer wrecked his vehicle to the extent that airbags were deployed.

Body cam footage shows officers fired dozens of rounds at the suspect, many through a windshield with an AR-15 patterned rifle. After securing the scene, officers immediately gave him medical attention.

Strickland survived the shooting and was transported to a hospital with injuries.
