On the morning of Wednesday, November 25, 2015, a dispute between neighbors on the 400 block of Arizona Street Southeast in Albuquerque turned deadly. The victim was Manuel Puentes, a 29-year-old Hispanic man who lived on that block. Witnesses told police Puentes, his neighbor Alejandro Alvarado, and two others had returned from a bar when an argument between Puentes and Alvarado escalated and Puentes was fatally stabbed.

Albuquerque police identified Alejandro Alvarado, then 39, as the primary suspect and issued an arrest warrant charging him with murder and bribery or intimidation of a witness. Officers released a description: Hispanic male, 5 feet 8 inches, about 180 pounds with a medium build; last seen wearing blue jeans, a maroon cowboy shirt, a navy blue baseball cap and rust-colored cowboy boots, driving his mother’s gold Chevy Blazer.

If anyone knew Manuel Puentes, saw the confrontation that night, or has information about Alvarado’s whereabouts, any leads could be important.
