Slayings of Las Vegas Couple Were Drug-related


Associated Press
       LAS VEGAS, N.M. — State police say the fatal shootings of an unmarried couple in their northern New Mexico home were drug-related.
    Lt. David Martinez says a small amount of marijuana and items related to drug use were discovered in the couple's mobile home north of Las Vegas.
    The bodies of 24-year-old Damian Lucero-Ortiz and 25-year-old Stephanie Dimas were found in their living room last Dec. 20.
    Martinez said the killer wasn't a stranger or secret intruder, and it appeared the couple had let in the gunman.
    He says there didn't appear to be a struggle before the killings.
