Arrests In Las Cruces Area Murder

The Dona Ana County Sheriff’s Office announced today arrest warrants were served on Bryanna Michelle Terry and Justin Bullock, both of Alamogordo, regarding the 2017 homicide of 18 year old, Dakota Lunceford. Lunceford was found August 2017 in a ditch in the town of Mesilla. Sheriff’s detectives pursued the investigation, but by fall 2017, the leads had run dry.

Detective Ileana Adame resumed work on this “cold case” this year and conducted forensic evaluation of several cellphones, which had been seized from Terry and Bullock at the time of the initial investigation.  Both Terry and Bullock have been charged with First Degree Murder, Conspiracy to Commit First Degree Murder, Robbery and Conspiracy to Commit Robbery. They were booked at the Dona Ana County Detention Center.
