Anthony Antonio Vasquez was 57 when he was fatally shot inside his recreational vehicle in Roswell, New Mexico, on February 5, 2021. The RV was parked on South Missouri Avenue and Vasquez was asleep when multiple bullets were fired into the vehicle in the early morning hours. His girlfriend was present but not injured; Vasquez was taken to a local hospital and died of his wounds.

On February 16, 2021, 25-year-old Jeffrey Contreras was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, tampering with evidence, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Authorities allege Contreras drove to the RV park with another person, fired into the RV, then fled; the firearm believed used was recovered at a relative’s apartment in Albuquerque. Investigators say the suspected motive was to prevent Vasquez from giving information about a separate homicide in which both men were allegedly involved. At arrest, Contreras was held on a $250,000 bond for the murder charge, plus other bonds.
