Leroy Phillip Salazar, 27, was shot and killed at his home in the 2200 block of Collins Drive in Las Vegas, New Mexico, on the evening of January 18, 2021. Police were called for reports of shots fired; Salazar was found with gunshot wounds, taken to Alta Vista Regional Hospital and later died there. Officers recovered numerous shell casings from two different calibers at the scene.

Investigators located about three pounds of low-grade marijuana and more than $3,000 in cash at the residence. A video surveillance system was seized and sent for forensic analysis. Authorities identified 38-year-old Clyde R. Gonzales as a suspect; Gonzales also admitted himself to the same hospital that night with gunshot wounds and told police he had gone to Salazar’s home to confront him over allegations involving Gonzales’s 14-year-old daughter. Police did not immediately classify the death as a homicide while the inquiry continued, and further legal details have not been disclosed.
