On the morning of December 15, 2025, police responded to a 911 call from a York Drive residence in Clovis after a report of a burglary. Officers found garage access open and, after entering the bedroom, discovered 59-year-old Oscar Steve Munoz and his 71-year-old wife Dina Kay Munoz with gunshot wounds to the head. Dina Munoz was pronounced dead at the scene; Oscar Munoz was transported to Plains Regional Medical Center and then airlifted to a Lubbock hospital, where he died later that afternoon.

Initial claims that intruders had entered the home and that the couple had returned from an anniversary trip were questioned as investigators gathered evidence. Attention turned to the couple’s 19-year-old son, Darren Munoz, and his 18-year-old friend, Julio Zamora. Authorities allege Darren solicited Zamora to kill his parents for an inheritance; text messages and video snaps are reported to have tied the two teenagers to the plot. Both Darren Munoz and Julio Zamora were arrested the same day and booked into the Curry County Adult Detention Center on multiple counts, including first-degree murder and conspiracy, held without bond.

What additional details do community members or witnesses remember about that night or about the family’s situation in the days before December 15, 2025?
