On April 16, 2022, 16-year-old Jorge Luis Armendariz was fatally shot while seated in a parked car at Cahoon Park near the tennis courts in Roswell, New Mexico. His friend, 15-year-old Cameron Luna, was also killed in the same incident. According to the investigation, the pair had gone to the park to purchase a handgun; police believe the gun had been sold and the seller left before the shooting.

Authorities identified two juvenile suspects in the shooting: 15-year-old Jayvin Montoya and 14-year-old Carlos Gallegos. Investigators say the two drove to and from the park in a 2011 Ford Fusion registered to Jayvin Montoya’s mother, Jessica Lee Montoya. After the vehicle was located during a traffic stop on April 17, 2022, Jessica Montoya was charged with tampering with evidence, conspiracy to tamper with evidence, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor; bond was later set at $10,000 cash or surety.

Jayvin Montoya was issued an arrest warrant on two counts of murder plus related robbery and weapons charges, and the two teens were among four suspects charged in the double shooting. If anyone has information about Jorge, Cameron, or the events at Cahoon Park that day, please come forward.
