Julio Gonzalez, 37, was fatally shot on June 26, 2015, at the 300 block of East St. Anne in Hobbs, New Mexico. His death prompted a multi-defendant investigation that produced guilty pleas and prison sentences in the Fifth Judicial District Court in Lovington.

David Coelho, 34, originally faced accessory to first-degree murder charges. On February 8, 2017, he pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter (third-degree felony) and felon in possession of a firearm (fourth-degree felony) as part of a plea agreement that resolved charges against multiple defendants. Coelho admitted three prior felony convictions in Curry County. At sentencing he received terms that were largely suspended except for time served, plus supervised probation and an 85 percent serious violent offense finding; he was arrested on February 13, 2017, for an alleged probation violation and detained pending a revocation hearing.

Co-defendants included Christopher Cardenas, 33, who pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 19 years, and Erica Martinez, 29, who pleaded no contest to accessory to second-degree murder and was awaiting sentencing at the time of Coelho’s plea. Does anyone have information about events at East St. Anne on June 26, 2015?
