A second man is wanted today in connection with the murder of a woman at a Roswell hotel.

Roswell Police Department detectives have obtained a warrant for the arrest of Frank Moss, 29, of Roswell.

Moss is wanted on charges of tampering with evidence, intimidation of a witness, and being a felon in possession of a handgun.

The charges are related to the Aug. 4 shooting death of Ashley Sena, 31, of Roswell, whose body was found in a room at Comfort Suites in the 3600 block of North Main Street in Roswell. She had been shot once in the face.

Sena’s boyfriend, 35-year-old Jeremy Hawkins of Roswell, was arrested early Saturday in Albuquerque by U.S. marshals. He is charged with an open count of murder, tampering with evidence, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and two counts of intimidation of a witness.

Moss is alleged to have gone to the hotel room after the shooting and collecting Hawkins’ possessions in order to return them to the murder suspect. Investigators also believe Moss was in possession of a gun when he allegedly threatened a potential witness.

Anyone with information as to his whereabouts is asked to call the RPD at 624-6770 or, anonymously, Chaves County Crime Stoppers at 1-888-594-TIPS (8477).
