Morales Bravo was fatally shot at Tuls Cattle Company No. 4, located four miles east of Farwell. He succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at 3 p.m. that day.
The investigation into his death led to the arrest of Francisco Javier Moreno Gutierrez, a 38-year-old man from Clovis, NM.
