LAS CRUCES 鈥� The fourth defendant in a shooting that erupted at a car meet in a city park last year faced the opening day of his first-degree murder trial Wednesday.

Gustavo Dominguez, 18, maintains he was along for the ride on the night of March 21, 2025, when he accompanied three other young men to Young Park. There, a crowd of up to 200 people, including children, gathered to watch cars spin in tight circles, kicking up smoke as some onlookers used lasers to make a light show.

District Attorney Fernando Macias told jurors that Dominguez, along with Tomas and Nathan Rivas, ages 22 and 18, and Josiah Ontiveros, 16, arrived together and were seen 鈥渂asically flashing signs (and) showing off their weapons,鈥� with witnesses reporting someone in the group telling the others to 鈥済et Dom,鈥� a reference to Dominick Estrada.

In the gun battle that ensued, Estrada, 19, was killed along with two bystanders: Andrew 鈥淎J鈥� Madrid, 16, and Jason Gomez, 17.

Fourteen others were wounded by gunfire as the crowd frantically dispersed. The first police officers to arrive at the scene shortly after 10 p.m. found traffic bottlenecked at both of the parking lot鈥檚 exits, vehicles driving over curbs and grass to escape and people fleeing on foot as first responders rushed to assist the wounded and gather whatever information they could.

It was Las Cruces鈥� deadliest incident since an unsolved 1990 shooting at a bowling alley that claimed five lives.

In trials earlier this year, the Rivas brothers and Ontiveros were all convicted on three counts of first-degree , which includes participating in the killing of a person 鈥渂y any act greatly dangerous to the lives of others, indicating a depraved mind regardless of human life.鈥�

None of the three have been sentenced as yet, but they face up to life in prison.

Dominguez now faces the same charges.

Police did not recover all of the guns used in the incident and have relied heavily on witness accounts as well as a diagram of bullet casings and multiple videos from witnesses鈥� mobile phones.

Before Dominguez鈥檚 jury, Macias provided an account of a coordinated effort by the group to target Estrada and construct an alibi after fleeing the park and driving to El Paso, Texas. Macias pointed directly at Dominguez, who sat at the defense table watching through thick-rimmed glasses, as he described Dominguez allegedly 鈥渂lazing away with his firearm with no threat anywhere 鈥� just shooting away鈥� until he ran out of ammunition.

Dominguez鈥檚 defense attorney, Herman Ortiz, countered that the trouble actually began when a witness, Ruben Morales, grabbed Dominguez in a bear hug with a struggle ensuing prior to the shooting. Ortiz indicated that the defense would examine Morales closely to determine the role alcohol may have played in an altercation Ortiz said 鈥渓it the match on the powder that blew this thing up.鈥�

Morales 鈥� a relative of Estrada 鈥� acted because he observed Dominguez draw a weapon, Macias said, and in the altercation that unfolded was shot multiple times but survived.

Ortiz indicated the defense case would distinguish Dominguez鈥檚 actions that night from those of the Rivas brothers and Ontiveros, stating that Dominguez joined his cohort following a week of school and work for a fun evening at the park. If he was armed, Ortiz said, it was for his own protection, but he told the jury the state would not be able to show that Dominguez actually shot anyone that night.

The attorneys鈥� opening statements were followed by witness testimony, starting with a Las Cruces Police sergeant who responded to the scene and the medical examiner who performed autopsies on all three victims.

Dominguez鈥檚 trial is scheduled for seven days. State District Judge Douglas Driggers has presided over all four trials.

In May, Driggers denied a motion by Tomas Rivas 鈥� who was convicted in February 鈥� for a new trial on allegations that a juror had communicated with an outside party about the case during the trial.

Ontiveros, who was 15 at the time of the shooting, is also seeking a new trial, but the motion is under seal, apparently to protect the identity of jurors.
