Johnny Pacheco Jr., 26, was found dead on January 22, 2021, in an open field southeast of the intersection of Y.O. and Lupton roads in Roswell, New Mexico. Law enforcement determined he had been fatally shot in the head and classified his death as a homicide.

In the weeks after the discovery, the Roswell Police Department identified a suspect. Jeffrey Contreras was charged with first-degree murder, first-degree kidnapping, robbery, tampering with evidence, and aggravated assault in connection with Pacheco’s death. Authorities linked Contreras to additional fatal shootings in Roswell and Albuquerque in February 2021; he and an associate left Roswell for Albuquerque and Contreras was arrested on February 16, 2021, outside a motel in Roswell. A judge ordered him held in pretrial detention for Pacheco’s murder.

What information do readers have about Pacheco’s final movements or anyone who may have seen him near Y.O. and Lupton roads on January 22, 2021?
