Antonio Son Acosta, 22, of Albuquerque was killed on September 3, 2024. He was born December 9, 2001, in Winslow, Arizona, and is survived by his mother Cristina Acosta, stepfather Anthony Padilla, sisters Ashley and Ellena Acosta, brothers Damian and Julian Acosta, and other family members.

A shooting in Albuquerque on July 15, 2024, near Juan Tabo and Constitution began as an art exhibition and escalated to gunfire, a multi-vehicle collision involving six vehicles including a marked Bernalillo County Sheriff’s vehicle, and a drive-by shooting in a tire shop parking lot. Witnesses reported two vehicles firing from moving cars, striking a food truck and a personal vehicle. Two 20-year-olds, Caleb Estrada and Elias Sandoval of Albuquerque, were later arrested in an Olive Garden parking lot on charges tied to firing from a moving vehicle and attempting to evade police.

The case file states Antonio died on September 3 but does not explicitly connect his death to the July 15 shooting. Did anyone who knew Antonio or who was at the July 15 scene see anything that could clarify whether these events are related?
