Dona Ana official organizes anti-gang meeting in Anthony
By Adriana M. Chavez / El Paso Times 7/11/07

Dona Ana County Commissioner Dolores Saldana-Caviness has coordinated a community meeting with the Dona Ana County Sheriff's Office to talk about the rising gang activity in Anthony, N.M.

The meeting will be at 6 p.m. July 17 at the Anthony sheriff's substation, 865 Anthony.

Sheriff's deputies say that the killing June 30 of 14-year-old Alberto Soto, who was shot with a sawed-off shotgun during an argument in the 300 block of Lincoln near St. Anthony's Catholic Church, was gang-related. Martin Leonel Nevarez, 17, was arrested on charges of murder and tampering with evidence in Soto's death.

Another gang-related killing in Anthony, N.M., took place in May, deputies said.
