Clovis police on Wednesday night were investigating the city's second homicide this month.

No arrests had been made as of 7:45 p.m., but police were about to interview a "person of interest," Deputy Police Chief Trevor Thron said.

Police said they received a report of shots fired in the 800 block of Davis Street about 6 p.m. Wednesday.

On arrival, police found a deceased male inside a travel trailer in a driveway in the 900 block of Reid Street.

"The male had a possible gunshot wound to his body," according to a police news release.

The region's Major Crimes Unit was called in to investigate.

Police declined to release the victim's name until relatives had been notified.

The city's first homicide of 2025 occurred early in the morning of Jan. 11. Two teenage boys were arrested and charged in connection with the death of Tony Cristan, 18
