A New Mexico man was arrested for murder Monday after he reportedly told law enforcement
that he was trying to prove himself to a Mexican drug cartel.
Anthony Breeding, 35, was arrested and charged with murder in the first degree for the Dec. 5 slaying
of Jose Angel Rivera, 35, outside his Hobbs residence, the Lea County Sheriff's Office said in a news release.

Deputies were dispatched to Rivera's home at around 1 a.m. over reports of an unconscious male.
Once on the scene, they discovered a deceased male who was later identified as Rivera.
Police found a gun on the scene but investigators soon determined that it was not the one that had been used to kill the victim.

Anthony Breeding, 35, was charged with murder, receiving a stolen firearm, felon in possession of a firearm
and attempt to commit aggravated burglary.

MEXICAN CARTELS SUBJECT TO TERRORIST-LEVEL SANCTIONS UNDER NEW GOP-SPONSORED BILL

The following day, on Dec. 6, police received an anonymous tip leading them to Breeding.
Deputies found the firearm in a chicken coup in a residence, which led to authorities detaining Breeding.

He told police that he and two other men were attempting to collect a $30,000 debt from Rivera
when a confrontation between the four broke out.
As the three suspects were leaving the property, an armed Rivera slowly backed into a carport.

That's when Breeding says he fired three to four rounds in Rivera's direction before their car took off.

Lea County Sheriff Corey Helton told the Associated Press Breeding was working for a Mexican drug cartel.
He reportedly claimed that he wanted to prove himself to the cartel.
He was charged with murder, receiving a stolen firearm, felon in possession of a firearm and attempt to commit aggravated burglary.
He is being held in the Lea County Detention Center on no bond.
