Joseph Famiglietta was 63 and proprietor of a family-run Bagel Lovers shop in a small Albuquerque shopping center when he was killed on November 29, 1988. He and his 37-year-old daughter Jeanne Wilt were working in the store when Nathan Trupp entered and opened fire. Jeanne was shot first and killed; witnesses and reports say Trupp then shot Joseph multiple times, killing him at the scene.

Jeanne’s 39-year-old husband Richard Wilt chased Trupp outside and was also shot and killed. Two customers escaped unharmed. Trupp did not flee the area after the shootings; he returned to his residence in Albuquerque and was later taken into custody. No other suspects or co-conspirators are named in connection with these deaths.

The attack was described as deliberately targeting the employees and their family, though a precise motive is not clearly established. Does anyone have memories of the shopping center or the Bagel Lovers shop that could shed light on that day?
