Clovis, New Mexico (WIHINMTX)— What Is Happening In New Mexico and Texas has received numerous inquiries from local residents regarding increased law enforcement activity and a helicopter circling over Clovis tonight.

Flight activity confirms the aircraft belongs to the New Mexico State Police. Along with aerial operations, residents have noted a visible surge in patrol units conducting frequent traffic stops across the city alongside local officers.

While community concern has sparked speculation, there is currently no indication of an active manhunt taking place in the area.

Multi-agency initiatives of this nature are not uncommon across the state. City, county, and state law enforcement agencies routinely conduct coordinated, high-visibility operations in communities such as Clovis, Roswell, Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and Las Cruces. Historically, these joint operations are designed to deter crime, enhance law enforcement visibility, and focus on traffic enforcement through pooled resources.

Official statements from the Clovis Police Department and the New Mexico State Police have not yet been released. We have reached out to both agencies for clarification on tonight’s targeted operations and will provide updates as soon as verified information becomes available.

Portales, New Mexico (WIHINMTX)— A fatal structure fire along U.S. Highway 70 claimed two lives Wednesday morning, prompting a joint emergency response from local fire departments and launching a state-level investigation.

At approximately 7:45 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 19, the Portales Fire Department dispatched crews following reports of smoke visible along the Highway 70 corridor heading toward Clovis. Firefighters arrived at the scene to find an active structure fire.

The cause of the fire remains unknown and is currently under investigation by the New Mexico State Fire Marshal’s Office.

City officials and the Portales Fire Department expressed gratitude to the Clovis Fire Department for their rapid mutual aid response and commended the professionalism of all emergency personnel on scene.

Mora County, New Mexico (WIHINMTX)— A violent series of events in Mora County left a woman dead and led to a high-speed police pursuit that ended in an officer-involved shooting on Sunday afternoon, according to the New Mexico State Police.

Officers responded around 11:05 a.m. on Sunday, August 16, to reports of a domestic violence incident occurring inside a silver Ford F-150 traveling northbound along New Mexico State Road 518 near milepost 29.

Witnesses reported seeing a male passenger striking a female occupant inside the moving truck, with one bystander describing the woman attempting to escape the vehicle while being held in a headlock. When state police officers arrived on the scene, they found 34-year-old Amity Maes lying motionless in the roadway. She was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency medical personnel.

About an hour later, at 12:05 p.m., the suspect—identified by authorities as 24-year-old Alejandro Vigil—returned to the area driving the same Ford F-150. When officers attempted a traffic stop, Vigil fled, leading state police and Mora County Sheriff's deputies on a pursuit southbound along NM 518.

The chase ended near milepost 27, where Vigil brought the vehicle to a stop and stepped out armed with a handgun. State police report that Vigil initially held the gun to his own head and ignored repeated commands to drop the weapon. When Vigil pointed the firearm toward officers, two New Mexico State Police officers opened fire, striking him.

Officers and deputies immediately rendered aid until paramedics arrived. Vigil was transported to an area hospital; his condition has not been disclosed.

Vigil faces multiple charges, including: Three counts of Aggravated Assault Upon a Peace Officer, Aggravated Fleeing a Law Enforcement Officer, and Felon in Possession of a Firearm.

No law enforcement personnel were injured during the encounter.

The names of the two state police officers involved have not yet been released pending formal interviews, and both have been placed on standard administrative leave.

The New Mexico State Police Investigations Bureau continues to investigate the exact cause of Maes’ death, and additional charges against Vigil may be filed as the inquiry progresses. State police do not make determinations on whether officer force is justified; all investigative findings will be submitted to the District Attorney's Office for final review.

Authorities are urging anyone who witnessed or recorded any portion of the incident to contact NMSP Dispatch at 505-425-6771 or submit information, photos, or videos via the department's public evidence portal.

14-Year-Old Arrested in Connection to Santa Rosa Middle School Shooting Threat, Police Say

Santa Rosa, New Mexico (WIHINMTX)— A 14-year-old boy has been arrested and charged following a joint law enforcement investigation into an online plot to carry out and livestream a school shooting at Santa Rosa Middle School.

The New Mexico State Police (NMSP) launched the investigation on July 30, 2026, after receiving intelligence regarding an alleged threat of violence directed at the school ahead of the academic year. Given the gravity of the threat and the looming start of classes, NMSP immediately coordinated with the Santa Rosa Police Department and the FBI Operations Center to identify the suspect and evaluate the credibility of the plot.

Federal investigators provided law enforcement with photographs of fi****ms associated with the threat. Officers successfully traced the weapons to a Santa Rosa man who confirmed ownership of the guns. Upon viewing an image of the handgun, the owner told officers he believed the hand holding the firearm belonged to his stepson.

A subsequent search of the residence led to the recovery of a handgun matching the weapon depicted in the online photographs. A rifle shown in a second photograph was later recovered at a separate location.

When interviewed by authorities, the 14-year-old stepson admitted to using the social media platform Discord to coordinate a plan with another individual. According to investigators, the suspect planned to carry out a shooting at Santa Rosa Middle School on August 10—the first day of school—and livestream the incident. He further confessed to photographing the fi****ms and downloading Google Maps images of the campus.

As a result of the investigation, the juvenile was taken into custody and charged with: Making a Shooting Threat, a fourth-degree felony. Interference with Public Officials or General Public, a petty misdemeanor

On August 10, the official first day of school, NMSP and the Santa Rosa Police Department deployed an increased law enforcement presence around Santa Rosa schools as a precautionary safety measure.

In a statement following the arrest, NMSP reiterated its zero-tolerance stance on threats to educational facilities, stressing that the safety of New Mexico’s children remains the agency's highest priority. State police commended the swift coordination and support provided by the FBI Operations Center and the Santa Rosa Police Department throughout the investigation.

Curry County Sheriff’s Office Investigating Fatal U.S. 60/84 Collision Near Melrose

Curry County, New Mexico (WIHINMTX)— A two-vehicle collision on U.S. Highway 60/84 left one person dead and two others hospitalized early Tuesday morning, according to the Curry County Sheriff’s Office.

The victim has been identified as 67-year-old Siu Mui Ng of British Columbia, Canada. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

First responders were dispatched at approximately 7:05 a.m. on August 11, 2026, following reports of a severe crash near the intersection of Curry Road AN and U.S. Highway 60/84, just west of Melrose. Deputies alongside emergency crews from the Melrose Volunteer Fire Department and the Clovis Fire Department arrived to find two heavily damaged vehicles blocking the area, forcing a temporary closure of the highway.

According to preliminary investigative findings, April Lee, 38, of Melrose, was driving a blue 2015 RAM 1500 pickup eastbound on US 60/84 after turning onto the highway from Curry Road AN. Approximately 1,300 feet east of the intersection, a white 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander—driven by 44-year-old Zhuojun Kong, also of British Columbia—was traveling eastbound in the same lane and struck the rear of Lee's pickup.

The force of the impact sent Lee’s vehicle off the roadway, causing it to roll over before coming to a rest on the north side of the highway.

Both Lee and Kong sustained injuries and were transported by ambulance to Plains Regional Medical Center in Clovis for treatment. Ng, who was a rear-seat passenger in Kong's vehicle, succumbed to her injuries before she could be transported.

The New Mexico State Police and the New Mexico Department of Transportation assisted local deputies with traffic control and scene clearance.

The Curry County Sheriff’s Office is leading the ongoing investigation into the precise cause of the collision. No further details have been released at this time.
