On May 23, 2022, 25-year-old Rosa Elena Trujillo was found in Lovington, New Mexico, with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities treated her death as a homicide.

Investigators identified Trujillo’s estranged boyfriend, Zion Blake Gibson, as the primary suspect. Gibson, a Lovington resident, had a history with Trujillo and their relationship was described as tense. After the shooting, Gibson fled the scene, leaving the couple’s 3-year-old child behind; the child was found unharmed.

Law enforcement located Gibson’s vehicle hours later on Interstate 40, which led to a pursuit that ended when his car crashed and he was taken into custody. The case is now in the court system.

Did anyone in the Lovington area know Rosa Elena Trujillo or have information about her relationship with Gibson?
