Two Men Arrested For Friday Murder In Roswell

Roswell Police have arrested two men for murder after a shooting Friday night. 38 year old Eric J. Contreras and 19 year old Miguel Angel Soltero are each charged with murder and tampering with evidence for the death of 21 year old Nicholas Montoya. Contreras is also facing a gun charge, considering his history as a convicted felon. RPD responded to the 300 block of East Van Buren after several neighbors reported hearing gunfire. Montoya was discovered dead nearby. A car with bullet holes was also found nearby on East Reed Street, where Contrearas lives. Polcie say Montoya and another person were in that car when gunfire was exchanged between him and the two alleged killers. Polcie say Contreras and Soltero have had a longstanding feud with Montoya.
