Clovis Police Seek Suspect in Early Morning Shooting; Victim Stable

Clovis, New Mexico (WIHINMTX)– The Clovis Police Department is actively searching for a 19-year-old man in connection with an early morning shooting on Sunday that left an 18-year-old male with multiple gunshot wounds.

The incident occurred around 4:36 a.m. on Sunday, October 5, 2025, when Clovis Police Dispatch received an emergency call reporting the shooting in the 1200 block of Wallace Street.

Upon arrival near 12th Street and Wallace Street, officers and emergency medical personnel found the victim with wounds to his legs, shoulder, hand, and face. The victim was initially stabilized and transported to Plains Regional Medical Center before being transferred to a hospital in the Lubbock, Texas area. The victim is reported to be in stable condition.

Special Operations Unit Detectives were activated to investigate the shooting. The victim was able to identify the suspect as J’Sieh Lewis (19). The victim also informed detectives that Lewis was using a pistol equipped with a "switch," a weapon conversion device that turns a semi-automatic firearm into a fully automatic weapon. This detail was reportedly corroborated by audio evidence from a nearby surveillance camera, which captured the sound of a high rate of fire.

Detectives executed a search warrant at the residence where the incident occurred, recovering fourteen (14) expended .45 caliber casings.

An arrest warrant has been generated for J’Sieh Lewis on charges including Aggravated Battery (3rd degree felony), Assault with Intent to Commit a Violent Felony with Intent to Kill (3rd degree felony), and Possession of a Weapon Conversion Device (3rd degree felony).

The Clovis Police Department is asking the public for assistance in locating J’Sieh Lewis. Anyone with information about this incident or the suspect’s whereabouts is urged to call the Clovis Police Department non-emergency line at 575-769-1921 or the emergency line 911.

☆ Barricaded Suspect with Firearm ☆

At approximately 5:25pm, Chaves County Sheriff's Deputies responded to a residence located in the 3800 block of East Pinelodge in reference to reports of an older man attempting to strike a juvenile male with an ax.

Upon arrival, Deputies learned that the juvenile was outside the residence & had injuries about his person, consistant with that of a victim. Deputies further learned that the suspect barricaded himself inside the residence, armed with a firearm & that a female was still inside the residence in harms way.

Deputies breached the residence, at which time the suspect lowered his hands toward the handgun, which was sitting on a table. Seeing that, Deputies immediately used a "stun" technique on the suspect, allowing Deputies to take him to the ground to control him, and subsequently take him into custody with minimal injuries.

Deputies are still on scene executing a search warrant. The suspect was transported to the hospital for medical evaluation prior to being incarcerated.

Deputies are SWAT trained (having been sent to SWAT school) & have the equipment to handle situations like this. With this type of training & equipment it allows Deputies to deal with situations such as this, with minimal time delay, when exigent circumstances exist to protect individuals in harms way.
