Marisela Barela, 29, was found dead on March 22, 2018, in the 6100 block of Chickasaw Road in Roswell, New Mexico. A passerby walking dogs discovered her lifeless body and called authorities at about 9:40 a.m.; she was identified by a driver’s license found on her.

The Chaves County Sheriff’s Office described the killing as execution-style, and Sheriff Britt Snyder noted it was the third homicide in the county in three weeks. Despite that cluster, the sheriff said there was no evidence linking Barela’s death to the other recent homicides. No arrests have been announced and the Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate.

Anyone who knew Marisela, saw activity on Chickasaw Road that morning, or has information relevant to the investigation is asked to contact the authorities.
