Erika Zamorano was 32 when she was found dead inside her Portales, New Mexico home on April 19, 2018. Family members who could not reach her discovered her after she failed to pick up her children from school, a departure from her usual routine. She had sustained a single gunshot wound to the head.

Authorities identified a suspect, 36-year-old Gerardo Marquez of Portales, who had been in an intimate relationship with Zamorano. Marquez was arrested and charged with her murder. In September 2018 a Roosevelt County jury convicted him of second-degree murder; he was sentenced to 16 years, with an additional four years added under habitual-offender provisions, for a total 20-year term. The offense was classified as a serious violent offense requiring Marquez to serve 85 percent of the sentence before parole eligibility.

If anyone knew Erika, her routines, or has information about what happened that day, please share what you remember.
