Edgar Segovia, 29, was found shot to death in his vehicle in the driveway of his Las Cruces home on December 19, 2020. A recent graduate who earned a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy from New Mexico State University in May 2020, Segovia was beginning his career when he was killed.

Two days after the killing, 71-year-old Santiago Rascon was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and two counts of tampering with evidence. Rascon told investigators he believed Segovia was responsible for the death of Rascon’s son, Emilio, who had died on July 4, 2020, and said he acted to avenge that death. Rascon said he retrieved a gun from his home after becoming angered and shot Segovia while Segovia sat in his vehicle. Rascon drove to his daughter’s house and confessed; his daughter then contacted police and Rascon surrendered. Rascon pleaded not guilty and his attorney requested a psychiatric evaluation to determine fitness to stand trial.

Does anyone have information about Segovia, his activities in Las Cruces, or the events on and around December 19, 2020?
