Bodycam shows teen accused to be involved in Young Park mass shooting is being arrested by police
By: Las Cruces, NM - Newly obtained bodycam video shows the moment when one of the underage suspects of the Las Cruces Young Park shooting was handcuffed and placed under arrest.

The video appears to show Rivas contesting the charges as he is handcuffed on March 23, two days after the shooting.
"They have no evidence of me," Rivas says in the video. "Not even in the pictures-- nothing."
The video then shows detectives leading Rivas down hallways into a cell.
It is here where Rivas's-- voice breaking, leg shaking-- he pleads with detectives once again,
I didn't do sh*t!

* 20-year-old Tomas Rivas
* 17-year-old Gustavo Dominguez
