On March 22, 2015, 17-year-old Jaquise Lewis of Albuquerque was fatally shot during a chaotic night at Los Altos Skate Park after an incident that reportedly began over a stolen skateboard. The confrontation escalated into a mass shooting that killed Lewis and wounded six others. Witnesses offer conflicting accounts; some say racial tensions and slurs intensified the argument. Video shows Lewis in a brief scuffle before retreating toward the parking lot, where he was shot twice.

An autopsy found Lewis was shot in the back and no gun was recovered on him. Albuquerque police have suggested the shooting might have been in self-defense, but witnesses from Lewis’s group insist he was unarmed and fleeing. Police say they identified a man who admitted to firing shots, yet no one has been charged. The family’s legal efforts for greater transparency continue. Does anyone who was at Los Altos Skate Park that night or who has information about the shooting want to come forward?
