Steve Andrew Soltero, 19, of Roswell, New Mexico, was shot and killed inside a Roswell Walmart on Saturday, October 14, 2023. The accused shooter is identified as Joshua Ray Martinez, an 18-year-old Walmart employee. Soltero’s family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Walmart, alleging the company failed to provide adequate security and properly screen employees, a claim they say contributed to the shooting.

The shooting has had a deep effect on Soltero’s family and the Roswell community and has prompted local discussion about workplace safety and gun violence.

If anyone knew Steve or was in the Walmart that day and can share memories or information, please come forward.
