On August 3, 2019, 42-year-old Mark Marcos Carrillo was found dead on the floor of a home in Las Vegas, New Mexico, and 39-year-old Gilbert Montoya was shot and wounded at the same location. Police allege that 40-year-old Marcos R. Ruiz, a Las Vegas resident tied to the Westside Locos street gang and associated with the Syndicato de Nuevo Mexico, shot Carrillo and Montoya at Ruiz’s residence that evening. Montoya survived his injuries.

Ruiz was arrested the next day, August 4, 2019, and charged with first-degree murder in Carrillo’s death and attempted murder for the shooting of Montoya. Investigators say Ruiz had been under federal scrutiny for months as part of a broader probe into drug distribution connected to a suspected trafficker in Albuquerque, and that Ruiz was suspected to act as a distributor and enforcer in Las Vegas. Ruiz is also linked in reports to other violent incidents earlier that summer, including a June 15 killing where he reportedly handed a gun to another man who fired, and he was identified by a witness in a July 22 shooting that remains unsolved.

Does anyone have information about Carrillo, his movements that night, or witnesses who were near Ruiz’s residence on August 3, 2019?
