Nathan Ogden, 44, was shot and killed during a violent home invasion at his residence in Capitan, New Mexico, in the early morning hours of July 28, 2024. At about 4:30 a.m., a vehicle carrying four people arrived at 104 Aspen, Trailer 18. One person knocked for several minutes, and when the door opened three men forced their way inside. The intruders were armed, wore masks and bandanas, and displayed shirts marked RPD on the front and POLICE on the back; one wore a ballistic vest. They announced themselves as police before shooting Ogden. His girlfriend, who was present, was not physically harmed. The intruders stole money and narcotics before fleeing.

A multi-state manhunt led to the arrests of all four suspects. Benisha Shanta, 33, of Capitan, was arrested in El Paso on August 5. Daniel Hernandez, 29, and Samuel Rey Duran, 30, were arrested after being located in Roswell and Albuquerque, respectively; Gabriel Thyberg, 41, was arrested in Albuquerque on August 9. Angela Montoya, 27, of Roswell, was also arrested and charged with Felon in Possession of a Firearm. The four main suspects face first-degree murder and armed robbery charges; Shanta is additionally charged with conspiracy to commit armed robbery, and Hernandez, Thyberg, and Duran face attempt to commit a felony and impersonating a peace officer charges, with Duran also charged as a felon in possession of a firearm.

Did anyone in the Capitan area see the suspects vehicle or the group arriving at Trailer 18 that morning?
