The Frisco shootout was an Old West gunfight that began on December 1, 1884, involving lawman Elfego Baca.

The shootout happened in Reserve, New Mexico, and stemmed from Baca's arrest of a cowboy, Charlie McCarty, who had been shooting into the air and into buildings at random while intoxicated.

Shortly after the arrest was made, Baca was confronted by a large number of the cowboy's friends.

The cowboys pursued Baca through legal means, attempting to have him imprisoned for the killing of their four comrades.

However, when the door of Geronimo Armijo's house was introduced as evidence, having over four hundred bullet holes in it, Baca was acquitted.
