ARTESIA, N.M. (AP) - A suspect police say shot and killed an Artesia man this week was out on bail for a 2015 fatal shooting of a New Mexico State University student.
The Carlsbad Current-Argus reports (https://goo.gl/IPJLZD ) 22-year-old Daniel Aguilera is suspected of killing 21-year-old Otis Chavez on Tuesday.
Authorities say Aguilera already is facing a murder charge in the 2015 shooting death of New Mexico State University student Andres Rojo.
Rojo was killed in July in what investigators believed began as a physical confrontation at an Artesia home.
Court records show Aguilera was out on $100,000 bond.

It was not known if Aguilera had an attorney.
