On November 2, 2014, Alamogordo police found 19-year-olds Jonathan Garnand and Devone Blake shot and seated in the front of a 2003 maroon Chevy Impala on the 1000 block of Hendrix Avenue. Both were alive when officers arrived and were taken to Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center, then airlifted to University Medical Center in El Paso. Jonathan Garnand died on November 4, 2014; Devone Blake died of his injuries on November 10, 2014.

The investigation produced cell phone GPS data, surveillance footage, and eyewitness accounts from the 10th Street area, but the case initially grew cold. Garnand’s mother, Anna Alcala, received disturbing packages over a year after the killings that contained personal items belonging to her son and were traced to a Mesilla post office; those leads were not effectively coordinated between agencies.

A renewed review in 2020 focused on two people who had contacted the victims about a drug deal; recovered cellular and GPS data later placed them at the scene. Those individuals were identified as Johnathan Stewart and Angel Armendariz. If anyone knew Garnand or Blake’s movements in Alamogordo in November 2014 or has information about contacts related to a drug transaction, please share what you know.
