Oscar Herrera was 20 when he was last seen leaving his home in the Chaparral community of Doña Ana County, New Mexico, on the evening of December 19, 2021. After he left, his usual lines of communication went silent and his family received no contact through the Christmas holiday. Concern led the family to report him missing on December 26, 2021, and the Doña Ana County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation.

Herrera is described as a Hispanic male with brown hair and brown eyes, standing 5 feet 2 inches and weighing about 120 pounds. Few specifics about his movements that evening or any subsequent sightings have been released, and the case remains active with authorities asking the public for tips.

If anyone in Chaparral or the surrounding area saw Oscar after December 19, 2021, or has information that could help locate him, please contact the Doña Ana County Sheriff’s Office.
