Jose Gonzalez, 32, was riding in a car with his stepson and a friend near Eubank and Copper in Albuquerque around 12:27 a.m. on September 15, 2024, when someone in a dark, older Chrysler 300 with peeling paint pulled up and opened fire. His family says it started as road rage. Jose was shot four times and later died.

He was raising seven kids, five of his own and two stepchildren. His mother says he took care of his whole family.

Police put out a Crime Stoppers alert for that Chrysler 300. A car with peeling paint is easy to remember. If you've seen one like it around Albuquerque, call Crime Stoppers at (505) 843-STOP.
