Charles Romero Jr., a 20-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed in Raton, New Mexico, on the night of August 14, 2016. Police responded shortly before 11 p.m. to a shooting in the 1200 block of East 4th Street and found Romero with gunshot wounds to his upper chest and face. He was transported to Miners’ Colfax Medical Center and pronounced dead shortly before midnight.

Investigators quickly identified two suspects from witness accounts: brothers Adrian Duran, known as Pelon, and Louis Duran, known as Brown Boy. Warrants were issued after the men were reported to have fled in a red 1992 Pontiac van and were described as armed and dangerous. Adrian Duran was wanted for first-degree murder and tampering with evidence; Louis Duran faced charges of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, tampering with evidence, and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Anyone with information about the shooting, the red 1992 Pontiac van, or the whereabouts of the Duran brothers is asked to come forward.
