Rachel Miranda, 42, was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head in an apartment at 416 East Lucero Avenue in Las Cruces on January 25, 2023. Neighbors reported an argument between Miranda and her boyfriend, David Aguilar, followed by sounds of a physical struggle and a loud banging before officers discovered her.

Investigators recovered a black 12-gauge shotgun inside the apartment. Two men, David Aguilar and Margarito Serena, fled the scene before police arrived but were later arrested near Spruce Avenue and Mesquite Drive. Both men were reported to be convicted felons and therefore legally prohibited from possessing firearms. On February 13, 2023, a grand jury indicted Margarito Serena on a charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

What information can anyone share about Miranda’s last known movements or about the two men who were arrested?
