On the morning of February 10, 1990, 2-year-old Valerie Rose M. Teran was fatally wounded during a robbery at the Las Cruces Bowl in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Valerie had been brought to the bowling alley by her 26-year-old father, Steven Teran, along with her 6-year-old sister, Paula Holguin, because a babysitter could not be found. They entered while two armed men were holding the manager, the manager’s daughter, a friend of that daughter, and a cook at gunpoint in the office.

All seven people forced into the office were shot multiple times and the assailants set the office on fire before fleeing. Valerie was alive when emergency services arrived but died after being rushed to a local hospital; her father and sister were among those killed at the scene. Investigators set up roadblocks and released descriptions of two men believed to be Hispanic, and the case has been publicized nationally with a reward offered, but no arrests have ever been announced.

Does anyone have information about the two men seen at the bowling alley or recall unusual activity around Las Cruces Bowl on February 10, 1990?
