Michael Sanchez was 27 when he left for work on the morning of Tuesday, June 18, 2013, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He was headed to his first day as a manager at a local car dealership after a year working in detailing. Before starting work he stopped for gas at a Valero station where a confrontation turned deadly.

Sanchez had been in an ongoing dispute with his neighbor, Ricardo Villanueva-Cordova, over a small dog that allegedly barked and ran loose and had bitten Sanchez on three occasions. Sanchez had filed animal control complaints that led to a warning and later a fine for Villanueva-Cordova. After approaching Villanueva-Cordova about the dog that morning, Sanchez left and was followed to the gas station. Surveillance video shows Villanueva-Cordova attacking Sanchez and stabbing him 29 times. Sanchez was taken to hospital and died on the operating table about two hours later.

Villanueva-Cordova disappeared after the killing; he reportedly called his girlfriend and said he had just killed somebody, and authorities believe he fled to Mexico. About a year later a Bernalillo County grand jury returned an indictment for first-degree murder and kidnapping, but the suspect remained at large. If anyone knew Michael Sanchez, his routines, or has information about Ricardo Villanueva-Cordova’s whereabouts, please share what is known.
