I'm pretty sure the Chicago kid attends the University of the Southwest, and given the ages of the victims and the shooter, my guess is it was a college party.
Don't think they were roughnecks. Again, not a good party to be at by any stretch. Loud 'music' and gunshots. Sounds like gang activity to me.
Sad about the young adults.

Fair enough. Didn't mean to impugn the reputation of roughnecks. Know more than a few and they're fine people.
Three people were killed and four others were wounded at a house party shooting in New Mexico over the weekend.
Bishop Henderson, 19, was arrested Sunday in
connection with the deadly shooting
additional charges are expected.
Among the three killed was Lamar Lee-Kane, 22, a basketball player from the University of the Southwest. Lee-Kane’s school mourned his death in a tweet, saying they were saddened by the tragic event. “We ask you pray for the school as a whole as well the Lee-Kane family,” the school wrote.
New Mexico Senator Tom Udall also expressed his grief for the seven people injured or killed in the shooting, all of whom were between 18 and 24.
“Words cannot express the shock and sadness at the news of another shooting in one of our communities,” the senator wrote on Twitter.

I'll hazard a guess the perp was either kicked out of the party or denied entry in the first place and returned with a gun to express his displeasure at being excluded. That's often the reason when there's a shooting around here at a party attended primarily by young black men, as this one appears to have been.
