On June 15, 2017, a domestic dispute in La Madera, Rio Arriba County, escalated into a deadly rampage that began when 21-year-old Damian Herrera shot and killed his mother, 49-year-old Maria Rosita Gallegos, his stepfather, 55-year-old Max Trujillo Sr., and his 20-year-old brother, Brendon Herrera, inside the family home. After those killings, Herrera fled and continued a path of violence across northern New Mexico.

Traveling north, Herrera reached Tres Piedras, where he shot and killed 61-year-old Michael Kyte and stole Kyte’s truck. He later went to Abiquiu and shot and killed 59-year-old Manuel Serrano at a local general store. A large manhunt ended the same day with Herrera’s apprehension after a high-speed chase.

Maria Rosita Gallegos was one of five people killed that day. If anyone knew Maria or has information about the events in La Madera on June 15, 2017, please share what you know.
