On March 14, 2021, in Carlsbad, New Mexico, 48-year-old Pete Sarabia Jr. was found with a life-threatening gunshot wound in the 500 block of S. Mesa Street. He was taken to Carlsbad Medical Center and died shortly after arrival.

The Carlsbad Police Department and the Eddy County Sheriff’s Office investigated and identified Anthony Olivas as a suspect. Authorities say the shooting grew out of a prior confrontation rather than being random. Olivas was located later that day in Loving, New Mexico, arrested and charged with an open count of murder and kidnapping.
