On February 14, 2021, two men were found dead at 52 Dodge Drive in Villanueva, New Mexico. The victims were Guadalupe Gutierrez, 59, and his son Kevin Anthony Gutierrez, 32. Investigators say the sequence began two days earlier when 14-year-old Enrique Duran-Garcia traveled to Kevin’s home after telling Kevin he had run away from home. Enrique was accompanied by a 15-year-old male friend.

According to the investigation, Enrique took Kevin’s handgun and shot and killed Kevin; Guadalupe was later stabbed and shot. Enrique and his friend then hitchhiked back to Las Vegas, New Mexico, and Enrique allegedly threatened the friend not to speak to police. Interviews with Enrique led to his arrest on March 8, 2021; he was booked on multiple charges, including two counts of Murder in the 1st Degree, Conspiracy, Intimidation of a Witness, Tampering with Evidence, Larceny of a Firearm, and Larceny.

These killings left a family grieving and a community seeking answers. If anyone knew Guadalupe or Kevin, or has information about their last days at 52 Dodge Drive, please come forward with what was seen or heard.
