EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — A 60-year-old man was held without bond Thursday morning, June 13, in Doña Ana County District Court after allegedly stabbing and killing another man earlier this month at an apartment in Las Cruces, according to the Third Judicial District Attorney’s Office for the State of New Mexico.
Gary Allyn, 60, was initially held without bond earlier this month after he was arrested and charged with an open count of murder for allegedly stabbing and killing another man on Wednesday, June 5, at an apartment located on the 1600 block of Missouri Avenue.
The Third Judicial Attorney’s Office says Allyn was held without bond Thursday and is being charged with one count of first-degree murder.
The Third Judicial Attorney’s Office says Allyn has no prior criminal records. However, the court deemed him dangerous when he “used a deadly weapon to take the life of another.”
Allyn also claimed veteran status and the court discussed services possibly available to him, according to the Third Judicial Attorney’s Office.
The Third Judicial Attorney’s Office also identified the victim as Timothy White, 61.
As we have previously reported, just after 6 p.m. that Wednesday, Las Cruces Police were dispatched to the report of a stabbing at an apartment located on the 1600 block of Missouri Avenue.
Officers arrived and found White inside the apartment with multiple stab wounds. He died at the scene, according to police.
Allyn was also in the apartment with blood on his hands, legs, and shorts, according to police.
According to court documents, when Allyn was asked by a witness if he had killed the other man, he stated, “I did.” When the witness asked Allyn what he used, he replied “Everything and anything.”
Court documents also state that Allyn was “possibly intoxicated” at the time of the incident.
