NMSP Investigates OIS involving the Curry County Sheriff’s Office

Clovis, New Mexico- On Sunday, August 23, 2026, the New Mexico State Police Investigations Bureau investigated an officer-involved shooting involving the Curry County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO).

Investigation Bureau agents learned at around 12:26 p.m., the Clovis Police Department received a call that a white Cadillac Escalade was following a white Ford pickup. The Ford pickup was driving to the Clovis Police Department while being pursued by the Escalade. Radio transmission from the Clovis Police Department indicated a civilian shooting incident occurred near the intersection of 14th St. and Mitchell St., and the victims were driving to the police department. The white Escalade was seen chasing the pickup by a Curry County Sheriff’s Deputy. The deputy then initiated a pursuit.

During the pursuit, the driver of the Escalade, identified as Eugenio Ibarra (44), fired multiple rounds toward the deputy near the intersection of 5th Street and Merriwether Street. The deputy then returned fire from his department-issued rifle.

The deputy and Ibarra were not injured during the exchange of gunfire. Clovis Police officers and Curry County Sheriff’s deputies continued pursuing Ibarra as he fled into Bailey County, Texas. During the pursuit, Ibarra fired toward officers’ multiple times. No other officers were injured during this incident.

Ibarra was ultimately taken into custody in Bailey County, Texas where he faces additional charges. The New Mexico State Police is working with the 9th Judicial District Attorney’s Office regarding charges related to the officer involved shooting.

The deputy will not be identified by the New Mexico State Police. For information on their duty status or administrative actions taken, please contact the Curry County Sheriff’s Office.

New Mexico State Police Investigations Bureau agents are working to independently determine the series of events leading to the shooting, including collecting evidence and conducting interviews. Throughout the process, investigative findings will be shared with the district attorney for review.

The New Mexico State Police acts solely as a factfinder in officer involved shootings and does not determine whether an officer’s actions were justified. That decision rests with the district attorney’s office. This incident remains under investigation by the New Mexico State Police.
