Erik Verto Rodriguez was 20 when he was found shot to death on November 27, 2020, after deputies responded to reports of multiple gunshots on Navajo Lane in the Meadow Lake community of Valencia County, New Mexico. He and his older brother, 23-year-old Roque Alejandro Rodriguez, were discovered inside a home during the sweep after a 3 a.m. call for shots fired.

Detectives circulated an early lookout for a dark-colored sedan with its hood and front end in primer paint, carrying either a Texas plate or a New Mexico temporary tag, seen leaving the area. Authorities did not announce an arrest and contemporaneous coverage noted investigators had not identified a suspect.

If anyone in Meadow Lake or Los Lunas heard or saw anything the night of November 27, 2020, contact the investigators with information.
