Authorities continue to seek one "person of interest" in homicide case.

Curry County Sheriff Wesley Waller Saturday named four people of interest in the Clovis area's newest homicide case. Two of those named are now in the Curry County Adult Detention Center (CCADC) and the sheriff said authorities have "made contact" with a third person of interest.

CCADC records show two of the "persons of interest," Cesar Rascon-Chacon, 23, and Mi'Linda Gallegos, 20, were apprehended over the weekend. Both have been incarcerated, each on a parole violation.

Waller says authorities are still looking for Eduardo Blanco, 27, for questioning in the homicide of Ismael Zachery Martinez, 27, of Clovis.

The investigation began Friday with Curry County deputies discovering a body in a field south of Clovis.

According to Waller, Friday at 2:30 p.m. Curry County deputies responded to a call regarding a man laying in a field near the former Swift plant at the intersection of Curry Roads K and 8. When they got there deputies found the man was dead.

Officials said Martinez was shot.

"I cannot reveal how many times he was shot as that is critical to the investigation," District Attorney Brian Stover wrote in a text message to The News.

"It is believed that he was not shot in the field."

Waller stated in the news release the Ninth Judicial District Major Crimes Unit has been activated and is assisting with the homicide investigation.

No arrests had been made by 6 p.m. Saturday.

Waller asks for the public's assistance in locating Blanco. He is described as 5'07", 170 pounds, brown hair and brown eyes.

If you have information regarding Blanco, his whereabouts or this case, please contact the

Sheriff's Office at 575-769-2335 or Curry County Crime Stoppers at 575-763-7000.

"We could really use help with this one," Stover said.

The Martinez homicide is the Clovis area's eighth in 2022.
