A Las Cruces officer shot and killed a mentally ill man with a hammer outside a Chili’s, citing an immediate threat.
On October 9, 2025, a Las Cruces police officer shot and killed 50-year-old Philip Adrian Mulin outside a Chili’s restaurant after Mulin, armed with a hammer, approached the officer despite repeated commands to stop.
Bodycam footage showed Mulin walking toward the officer across the parking lot before being shot three times in the chest.
Authorities reported Mulin had a history of mental illness and had been involved in multiple incidents earlier that day, including threatening behavior, damaging vehicles, and inquiring about firearms and knives at a gun store.
Police said they had previously interacted with Mulin during welfare checks but had not made arrests.
The officer, acting alone, used lethal force, citing an immediate threat, and was not injured.
The investigation remains ongoing.
