EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — New Mexico State University Police are seeking the community’s help in finding the second of two suspects involved in two burglaries that happened on Friday, April 18, at the university.
NMSU said the burglaries included an agricultural storage building and a government-owned truck in the parking lot near NMSU’s Alumni and Visitors Center.
The university said Tyler Gutierrez, 18, who is not an NMSU student, was subsequently charged with non-residential burglary, burglary of a vehicle, conspiracy to commit non-residential burglary, conspiracy to commit burglary of a vehicle, and injury or tampering with a motor vehicle. Gutierrez’s white Chevy Tahoe was impounded, NMSU added.
“A suspicious white Chevy Tahoe was spotted in the parking lot near the Alumni and Visitors Center with all its windows down,” said Justin Dunivan, interim NMSU Police chief. “Officers canvassed the area and discovered the burglaries. They spotted a suspect walking across the parking lot at College Drive and Knox and detained him.”
NMSU said the second suspect in these burglaries remains at large. Anyone with information about this suspect should contact NMSU Criminal Investigator D. Pedraza at (575) 646-3311.
