Jose de Jesus Eguia Rosas, 54, was shot and killed in his Santa Fe, New Mexico, home on January 21, 2026. Police say a bullet that struck him on Zepol Road appeared to have come from an adjacent apartment. Responding officers found him deceased inside his residence.

Detectives interviewed the neighbor, 30-year-old Kristjan Lucano, who acknowledged unintentionally discharging a firearm inside his apartment. Authorities said Lucano did not report the discharge or check on occupants of the neighboring unit; he was arrested and faces multiple charges including involuntary manslaughter.

Eguia Rosas, also known as Chuy or Jesse, enjoyed spending time with family and friends, followed the Houston Astros and Club América, and liked television series and action movies. His family is arranging to return his body to Texas for burial.

Did anyone in Santa Fe hear or see signs of a shooting that night, or have information about the neighboring apartments on Zepol Road?
