Jeremy Trujillo, 16, was shot and killed on the afternoon of March 22, 2012, while walking home in southwest Albuquerque with his longtime friend Samuel Sammie Gutierrez. The boys had left Robert F. Kennedy High School and followed a familiar bike-path route near an arroyo when both were gunned down; an obituary confirmed Jeremy’s death that day. Family described Jeremy as someone who loved the outdoors and his dogs and had plans that included working in the forest.

Investigators obtained a neighbor’s home-surveillance video showing two hooded cyclists riding toward the area, then minutes later two youths with backpacks following the same path and an encounter near where the bodies were found. Police released the clip as a potential break and asked the public for help, and detectives continued to circulate the footage and offer a reward in subsequent years, including on the fifth anniversary of the killings. No arrests have been announced and the case remained open and unsolved in the updates described.
