   On February 22, 2008, at approximately 4:30 pm, The Alamogordo Department of Public Safety received
information of a possible homicide that had occurred in town. Department of Public Safety Officers and
Detectives responded to the Las Ventanas Apartments in an attempt to investigate the initial report. During
the initial investigation at the Las Ventanas Apartments, a report of a homicide at the Hampton Inn was
dispatched. Department of Public Safety Officers and New Mexico State Police responded to that secondary
location and located a male subject who was deceased at the Hampton Inn. A short time later a male and a
female subject turned themselves in at the New Mexico State Police Building, located at 411 E. Tenth Street.
All three locations appear to be related to the investigation. The Alamogordo Department of Public Safety,
New Mexico State Police, the 12th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, and the United States Air Force Office
of Special Investigations are conducting a joint investigation into the deceased subject located at the
Hampton Inn.
