On October 16, 2024, Lisvany Penaranda, a Hispanic male, was found with a gunshot wound to the chest lying in the roadway near the Volcanis Commons Apartments at 6901 Glenrio Rd NW in Albuquerque. A passerby discovered him and first responders were dispatched, but Penaranda did not survive his injury.

Police tied the investigation to a man connected to Penaranda’s personal life. Officers arrested 41-year-old Johanni Pacheco Hernandez, the ex-husband of the woman Penaranda was dating. Detectives say Pacheco Hernandez had expressed disapproval of the relationship and that Penaranda’s girlfriend saw Pacheco Hernandez’s vehicle near her apartment and attempted to warn Penaranda before the shooting.

The Albuquerque homicide unit handled the case and the city lists it as closed following the arrest. If anyone witnessed activity near 6901 Glenrio Rd NW on the morning of October 16 or has information about the interaction described, please come forward.
