Alvin Crespin, 49, of Santa Fe, New Mexico, was found with multiple gunshot wounds late on the night of April 25, 2025, near Agua Fria Street and South Guadalupe. He died at the scene, and the Santa Fe Police Department opened a homicide investigation.

On April 30, 2025, two people were arrested in connection with the killing. Thirty-seven-year-old Pierre Cheykachi was taken into custody after a brief foot chase near North Paseo De Peralta and West San Francisco Street and faces an open count of murder, tampering with evidence, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and resisting or obstructing an officer. Twenty-two-year-old Alexis Chavez has been charged as an accessory to murder. Both have prior records that include stolen motor vehicle and property-related offenses and incidents of resisting or obstructing law enforcement.

Authorities are continuing to investigate and are asking anyone with information about the shooting to come forward.
