Antonio Montez, a 23-year-old Hispanic/Latino man, was found dead in a pecan orchard near Monte Vista Road SW in Deming, New Mexico, in the early morning hours of June 16, 2021. Deputies responding to a crashed 2002 Honda Accord shortly before 7 a.m. found blood on the driver’s seat, bullet holes in the windshield, back window and a passenger-side pillar, and a trail of blood leading away from the vehicle.

Around 7:30 a.m. a resident in that same area discovered bullet fragments inside their home, creating a second crime scene. The Luna County Sheriff’s Office and New Mexico State Police crime scene investigators handled the investigation; authorities asked anyone with information to contact the Sheriff’s Office or submit anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers.

Does anyone have information about Montez’s movements that night or saw activity near Monte Vista Road SW or Crystal Road SE?
