Details about remains surface
The alleged murder of one victim whose remains were found in a rural part of the San Luis Valley started as a drug buy, which quickly turned into a bloody stabbing and shooting, and a conspiracy to hide the body, according to an arrest affidavit.
Two more suspects were arrested Monday in connection to human remains being found in early November near Los Sauces in Conejos County and the initial suspect arrested, Adre “Psycho” Baroz, in the gruesome case now faces additional charges.
Julius Anthony Baroz, 30, was arrested by Alamosa police on suspicion of firstdegree murder and tampering with human remains in the death of 38-year-old Myron Robert Martinez, of Del Norte. Martinez’s remains were found in Conejos County in November. Baroz is being held at the Alamosa County Jail on $250,000 bond.
Julius Baroz is the brother of Adre Baroz, who was arrested in November.
CJ Walter Dominguez, 27, was arrested Monday on suspicion of tampering with human remains, accessory to first-degree murder and second-degree kidnapping. He is being held at the Alamosa County Jail on $100,000 bond. All three suspects in the case are from Alamosa.
The Baroz brothers, according to an arrest affidavit, lived in separate apartments at 617 Sixth St., The Walsh Hotel. It was inside Adre’s apartment where Martinez was stabbed and shot, his body then mutilated, after he went there to buy drugs.
On Dec. 31, an investigator spoke with a person who witnessed the murder, according to the affidavit.
As the alleged conspirators prepared the body to be disposed, Adre Baroz instructed Dustin McDermott
to get rid of Martinez’s vehicle. Shayla Hammel, 34, was waiting in the car for Martinez.
The witness told investigators that “Psycho” likely shot and killed Hammel.
On Nov. 13, a search warrant was served at 19086 County Road 27, Sanford, where two crude graves were found. The remains of Martinez and Hammel were identified through dental records.
The 12th Judicial District Attorney’s Office said Adre Baroz, 26, faces two additional charges of firstdegree murder and two additional charges of tampering with human remains.
