On March 15, 2021, 30-year-old Guillermo Aguilar of Roswell, New Mexico, was fatally shot during an altercation on the 1500 block of West Walnut Street at about 8:30 p.m. Aguilar was a passenger in a vehicle driven by his girlfriend when another vehicle, driven by 21-year-old Angel Raymundo Fresquez, followed them. Fresquez had reportedly taken a friend’s vehicle without permission and was driving erratically, which led to a confrontation.

When both vehicles stopped, Aguilar approached Fresquez’s vehicle and a verbal exchange occurred. Fresquez fired a single shot from the driver’s side window, striking Aguilar in the stomach. Responders transported Aguilar to a nearby hospital, where he died shortly thereafter. Fresquez was identified as the primary suspect; an arrest warrant was issued and he was arrested on April 26, 2021, and charged with second-degree murder and unlawful taking of a motor vehicle. Authorities also named 24-year-old Christopher Garcia-Perez as a person of interest believed to have been a passenger in Fresquez’s vehicle.

Does anyone have information about the events on West Walnut Street that night or about witnesses who saw the vehicles involved?
