Oscar A. Bermejo-Garcia, 23, was shot dead in the early morning hours of April 20, 2025, inside a home on the 500 block of Dean Drive SW in southwest Albuquerque. Police were called just after 2 a.m.; officers found him suffering from at least one gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Albuquerque Police Department’s Homicide Unit opened an active investigation and confirmed a firearm was the weapon involved. In the days after the killing detectives publicly appealed for tips, but no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. Bermejo-Garcia’s family began a fundraiser to cover unexpected funeral expenses as they cope with the loss.

What information about the neighborhood or that early-morning timeframe might help move this investigation forward?
