LAS CRUCES, N.M. — A New Mexico man who dodged a murder charge in 2017 is now accused of decapitating a man in a public park and using his head to play soccer in the street.
Joel Arciniega-Saenz, 25, of Las Cruces, was arrested Sunday night and charged with first-degree murder in the killing of 51-year-old James Garcia. He remained jailed without bond Wednesday in the Doña Ana County Detention Center.
Court documents obtained by KTSM in El Paso describe the grisly scene Las Cruces police officers found when they responded Sunday to Apodaca Park.
According to the records, police officers were called to the park after passersby reported a body lying on Madrid Avenue. When they arrived, they found Garcia’s remains, minus his head.
An officer found Garcia’s head about 10 yards from the rest of him, the news station reported.
Garcia had suffered multiple stab wounds and was also missing the middle finger of his right hand.
ABC 7 in Las Cruces reported that police allege Arciniega-Saenz, who was found nearby, had “significant bloodstains” on his clothing and a “bloody knife (was) stuck in the ground near where he was seated.”

Seriously though, wow! What a sick individual. This is NOT meant to dismiss the victim, but what happened to this poor guy that allowed him to do things like this at the age of only 25? 10 years ago, he was just a teenager. smh

The DA who didn’t prosecute this monster the first time (or 50th time) he killed someone has blood on his hands.

Just when I think society has hit rock bottom, I read stories like this that makes me think the bottom is limitless.

This guy watched too many Hostel movies.
I probably have too and find them to be the most terrifying and horrifying movies I’ve ever seen. They are the height of human depravity and it’s quite scary how Eli Roth’s mind works.

Somehow I doubt he’s really a New Mexico man from Las Cruces. The Ministry of Propaganda always hides the fact that many of these criminals are illegal aliens.
Partner, this is the correct analysis!!!
These are type of criminal folks that are coming through that Southern border.
The Alzheimer's/Dementia President Biden can not even realize what he has done to the Southern Border.
To: TheConservativeTejano
Biden’s handlers know perfectly well what they are doing.
Getting the flow going again is why both parties colluded to cheat Trump out.

“New Mexico man” = MS-13
Partner, we were doing the right thing by deporting these Crazed MS-13 folk.
We will have to do this again and we are going to have to assign them to get a lethal injection. This seems like we are too nice.
