Daniel Dale Flores, 43, was shot and killed in the parking lot of the 16th and Pile Church of Christ in Clovis, New Mexico, on the evening of May 29, 2026. Officers responding to a report found Flores unconscious with a fatal gunshot wound to his abdomen; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Born in Dallas on December 4, 1982, he was remembered as hardworking, friendly, and fond of tinkering and playing catch with his nephews.

Surveillance footage captured the shooting. The video shows a bicyclist later identified as Andrew Robels calling out to Flores, threatening to shoot if Flores continued to follow, then pursuing, cutting him off and, without dismounting, firing one shot into Flores’s abdomen before fleeing. Investigators identified a second person in the footage, who led them to Robels. Robels waived his Miranda rights, confirmed he was the person seen riding away after the shooting, and acknowledged using a handgun that matched the casing at the scene; he is a convicted felon and was charged with first-degree murder, felon in possession of a firearm, and tampering with evidence.
