Chrystal Gayle Moore, 40, of Hobbs, New Mexico, was found dead in her home on July 8, 2019, alongside 37-year-old Rojelio Velasquez in what investigators ruled a double homicide. Officers were alerted by an unknown caller and discovered Velasquez on a couch with a blanket partially covering him and a gunshot wound above his left ear. Moore was found on a bed with a gunshot wound near her left ear. The residence showed signs of being ransacked, with .40 caliber casings, bullet holes in walls, and live rounds in a hallway.

Surveillance footage placed a pickup at the house around 11:38 p.m.; Velasquez answered the door and a man identified later as Hector Madrid, 41, entered the home. About five minutes later the same man left and fled in the truck. Madrid and an associate, Alfonso Aldaco, had been at the house to buy heroin, and Aldaco later messaged a family member saying Madrid ‘‘snaps in and out of it’’ and had tried to shoot him earlier. Aldaco turned himself in; Madrid was arrested in Lubbock and charged in the case. Madrid ultimately pleaded to two counts of voluntary manslaughter and received a seven-year Department of Corrections sentence with additional suspended time and credit for 544 days served; charges against Aldaco were dismissed without prejudice on August 8, 2019.

Did anyone in Hobbs have information about the pickup or the men seen on surveillance that night?
