BY THE STAFF OF THE NEWS
CLOVIS — Police on Thursday announced a murder warrant has been issued for a 30-year-old man in connec- tion with Tuesday’s homicide at the Clovis Apartments. Darryl Turner is want- ed on an open count of murder. David McDonald, 30, was shot to death at the apartment complex early Tuesday morning. Turner Witnesses said several gunshots were fired and a man was seen running from the scene. No motive has been released for the slaying. Police also on Thursday took to social media in search of three people they wanted to interview about the shooting. About three hours after asking for the public's help, a police Facebook post reported they had found Nicholas Morris, 27, and Shenieva Ardrey, 37. They were still looking for Jamond McClendon, 33, as of 6 p.m. Thursday. Police did not indicate the reason they wanted to interview the three. Police in a news release asked anyone with information about the location of Turner to call them at 575-769-1921. Portales man hospitalized

Texas contractor arrested in NM LOVINGTON — A Texas contractor is being accused of embezzling more than $442,000 from the develop- ers of a multimillion-dollar apartment complex project in southeastern New Mexico. The Lovington Police Department says 69-year-old Donald Ray Griffin of Fort Worth was recently arrested in Texas as the result of a yearlong investigation. Griffin is facing seven felony counts of embezzle- ment. It was not immediately clear if Griffin had an attor- ney. Records show his busi- ness, DRG Trinity, LLC, was dissolved earlier this year. Griffin acted as the gener- al contractor for the project from July 2014 through January 2016. Investigators accuse him of taking for per- sonal use money that had been earmarked for pay- ments to subcontractors who worked on the Lovington Trails project. Jail director resigns under fire LAS CRUCES — The longtime director of the Dona Ana County Detention center has resigned as he faced marijuana possession charges and a move to fire him. The Las Cruces Sun-News reported Wednesday that Chris Barela resigned after an administrative hearing where he was contesting a move to fire him. Barela has pleaded not guilty to four misdemeanor marijuana possession charges and has a court date later this month. Local nar- cotics detectives launched an investigation in April after receiving a tip that Barela had regularly been buying marijuana. Detectives then set up a sting and Barela allegedly purchased pot from undercover operatives.

AREA FOOTBALL PREVIEW Texico task is tough ❏ Wolverines will face Foxes, hope to get first win. By Jamie Cushman STAFF WRITER [email protected] Texico will be in for a chal- lenge when it travels west to take on Fort Sumner. “They’re not ranked number one in 2A by accident,” Texico coach Pat Crowley said. The Wolverines will face a high-powered Foxes offense that has scored 94 points over its opening two games in the 7 p.m. kickoff. “They run it and they pass it very well,” Crowley said. “They spread it around, they show you lots of formations.” Texico will need to watch out for Fort Sumner quarter- back Jude Segura’s scram- bling abilities when the play breaks down. Meanwhile the Wolverine offense has gotten off to an inauspicious start this season with a shutout against Portales and just one score last week Staff photo: Kevin Wilson against Dexter, but Crowley Senior Tyrese Dawson picks off a pass during Tuesday’s Ram football practice.
