On October 19, 2016, 59-year-old Jose Alfredo Armendariz of Socorro, Texas, was shot and killed while working on a farm in Berino, New Mexico. Armendariz, the ranch foreman, was repairing a water pump on the 400 block of East Six Mile Road at about 3 p.m. when a man approached and opened fire.

The shooter was identified as Sergio Meraz-Nevarez, a former employee who had been under Armendariz’s supervision and had recently been fired. Meraz-Nevarez’s wife told investigators he had been told he and his family would need to vacate housing provided by the landowner. After the shooting Meraz-Nevarez fled, abandoned his vehicle in a ditch, and was captured in a nearby field following a multi-agency search. He was booked at the Doña Ana Detention Center and charged with homicide and related offenses.

Does anyone have information about Armendariz, the farm, or the events leading up to that October day?
