![Wanted: Suspects for Commercial Burglary in the 12th District [VIDEO]](https://thephillypi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Wanted-Suspects-for-Commercial-Burglary-in-the-12th-District-VIDEO-330x220.jpg)
A routine shopping trip for an off-duty U.S. Border Patrol agent turned into a violent multi-agency pursuit on July 27, 2022, after a brazen robbery at a Lowe’s Home Improvement store in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The incident, captured on rare federal bodycam and CCTV, highlights the “High-G” transition from a standard shoplifting call to a lethal-force encounter involving a suspect wanted by the FBI.
The Incident: From Shoplifting to Armed Robbery
The confrontation began when two masked men, later identified as Joshua Lopez and Miles Luciano, attempted to exit the Lowe’s with a portable air conditioner without payment.
- The Escalation: When confronted by employees, the suspects brandished a firearm.
- The Off-Duty Witness: A Border Patrol agent from the Deming station, who was in the store with his children, witnessed the threat. He trailed the men to the parking lot, securing a description of their vehicle—a maroon Chevy Tahoe—and noting that the license plate was obscured by a plastic bag.
The Pursuit: “Wrong Side of Traffic”
Las Cruces police located the Tahoe within five minutes, sparking a high-speed chase through heavy commercial areas, including the parking lots of Red Lobster and Hooters.
- Tactical Risk: Dispatch reports confirmed the driver was operating on the wrong side of the road to evade capture.
- The Confrontation: The pursuit ended in a flurry of gunfire. As officers attempted to box the vehicle in, shots were fired, leaving the driver, Joshua Lopez, down with significant injuries.
The Aftermath: Manhunts and Sentencing
The scene took a somber turn when Lopez’s mother arrived, informing officers that her son had been “on the run” and she had been trying to help him turn himself in for existing warrants.
| Suspect | Status/Outcome | Sentence |
| Miles Luciano | Captured at scene (Uninjured) | 3 years, 10 months prison |
| Joshua Lopez | Wounded; Escaped hospital Aug 2022 | 7 years, 2 months prison |
Lopez’s escape from the hospital triggered a month-long FBI manhunt before his final capture in September 2022. Investigators later linked him to similar armed shoplifting incidents at Best Buy and AutoZone earlier that year.
Philly PI Analysis: The “Signal-Static” of Field Reports
This case serves as a stark reminder of how quickly “field hardware”—in this case, a retail air conditioner—can become the center of a federal criminal case. The presence of the off-duty agent acted as a critical “signal” that allowed law enforcement to bypass the usual “static” of a delayed 911 call. For local businesses, the successful prosecution by the Department of Justice (DOJ) under “interference with commerce by threats or violence” charges marks a significant victory for commercial security in New Mexico.

Best RAM bundle deals
(Image credit: Future)1. Quick Links2. AMD RAM bundles3. Intel RAM bundles
RAM bundles have turned out to be the best option to get reasonably-priced RAM during the ongoing pricing crisis. It's the Amazon Big Deal Days 2026 sales event this week, running from October 6 to 7, so this could be a good time to pick up a deal at a discount, although you'll want to take a closer look at retailers like Newegg for the best deals.We're looking at all of the deals running this week, keeping the list below fresh with all the best options. With AI datacenter demand sending RAM and storage prices sky-high, and GPU prices on the rise as well (especially those with more than 8GB of RAM), this is arguably the toughest time for PC building in decades. But that doesn't mean you always have to pay top dollar for that 64 or 32GB kit for a new system.Many retailers are bundling RAM kits with compatible motherboards, CPUs, coolers, and even peripherals to sweeten the deal and move some inventory out the door. Of course, not all memory combo deals offer the same level of value, and many with motherboards or CPUs won't feature the platform you're shopping for.To help you find the best RAM bundle, we've gathered the current combos we could find below, and we'll update this page regularly because the best deals often sell out fast. We're checking deals around the clock to find the best options, selecting the best based on in-depth knowledge gained from our thorough reviews, extensive benchmarks, and comprehensive historical price analysis.So if you're searching for a deal while building or upgrading a PC in these troubled times, take a look at our picks below before the right deal for you sells out to someone else. But fear not if that happens, as we're seeing new RAM pairings pop up nearly every day. So check back in a day or two if you don't see what you're looking for.Update 9/2: Intel deals with RAM in them have become extremely rare over the past couple of months. We're often finding CPU and motherboard combos, but none with RAM. We'll keep an eye out, and when we find them pop up, we'll get them added.Best RAM bundles: Quick LinksNewegg: Bundle deals with RAMBest AMD RAM bundlesFree msi coreliquid a13 240mm AIO and AMD Game bundleSave 12% ($149)AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Asus TUF Gaming X870e-Plus Wifi7, Corsair Vengeance 32GB: was $1,233.98 now $1,084.98 at NeweggAn alternative 9800X3D deal with the same motherboard as above, but with an alternative RGB Corsair Vengeance RAM with 32GB (2x16GB) capacity and speeds of 6,000 MT/s,Read moreRead less▼View DealFree Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240mm AIO and AMD Game bundleSave 11% ($170)AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, MSI MPG X870e Carbon Wifi, Corsair Vengeance 32GB: was $1,523.98 now $1,353.98 at NeweggThe powerful AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D is coupled with an MSI MPG X870E Carbon WiFi motherboard and 32GB (2x16GB) of Corsair Vengeance RGB memory in this RAM bundle.Read moreRead less▼View DealSave 14% ($105.98)MSI Pro B850-S WiFi 6E, Kingston NV3 1TB, V-Color Manta XSky DDR5 32GB (2x16GB): was $776.97 now $670.99 at NeweggThis combo features the Kingston NV3 SSD with 1TB storage, along with 32GB (2x16GB) V-Color Manta XSky DDR5 RAM and a MSI Pro B850-S WiFi 6E motherboard.Read moreRead less▼View DealSave 31% ($129)AMD Ryzen 5 5500, Gigabyte B55M Gaming X WiFi 6, TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4: was $421.98 now $292.98 at NeweggThis AMD starter kit for a budget build featurs the AMD Ryzen 5 5500, Gigabyte B55M Gaming X WiFi 6 motherboard, along with 16GB (2x18GB) of DDR4 Team Group T-Force Delta RGB memory.Read moreRead less▼View DealBest Intel RAM bundlesWith the release of Intel's Arrow Lake refresh chips (think Core Ultra 270K and 250K Plus CPUs), we're starting to see Intel combo deals come to life.
