Albuquerque, NM – Deputy United States Marshals arrested homicide suspect
Richard Winters, 20, in the 9800 block of Buena Ventura Road in northeast
Albuquerque. Deputies developed leads into the whereabouts of Winters and moved
in for an arrest just before 7pm. Winters was found in the residence of family
members. Winters was taken into custody without incident and booked into the
Metropolitan Detention Center in Albuquerque and is awaiting extradition to San
Juan County.
On May 31, 2012, warrants were issued for Gabriel Alcon, Richard Winters,
Vincent Montoya, and Sara Martinez for the suspected murder of Anthony Jacquez.
The warrants were issued in San Juan County, New Mexico. Shortly after the
homicide it was believed the four suspects fled San Juan County. Deputy Marshals
were asked to assist in the apprehension of the murder suspects by the San Juan
County Sheriff’s Department.
On 06/13/2012, Gabriel Alcon was arrested by the San Juan County Sheriff’s
Department in the Four Corners area of NM. Sara Martinez fled to Phoenix,
Arizona and was arrested by a SWAT team at a Motel 6 from leads provided by
Deputy Marshals in Albuquerque, NM. Amelia Salazar, Martinez’s friend and
traveling companion, was arrested by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office and
charged with Harboring a Fugitive. On June 14, 2012, Vincent Montoya turned
himself into law enforcement officers in Arizona. District of New Mexico, United
States Marshal, Conrad Candelaria, said “the relentless pursuit of dangerous
fugitives is a trait that commonly defines the very essence of the Marshals
Service, despite the repeated attempts by this fugitive to evade, elude and
resist, all attempts were futile and the fugitive is no longer a danger to our
community and will now answer to the violent crimes committed.”
