Gordon Peter Wilson, an 83-year-old man described as kind and intelligent who chaired the board of The Archaeological Conservancy, was shot and killed during a carjacking in a Best Buy parking lot on Zafarano Drive in Santa Fe on August 6, 2024. The shooting happened about 10:25 a.m.; the suspect fled in Wilson’s 2020 blue Jeep Grand Cherokee and the vehicle was later recovered in Albuquerque.

Police described the suspect as a Hispanic male with a goatee and tattoos, wearing black jeans, a bright blue shirt over a button-up, and a white baseball cap. Within days authorities identified 38-year-old Zachary Ryan Babbitts as a suspect, obtained an arrest warrant, and connected him to a week-earlier bank robbery. Reports say Babbitts had been released from prison in March, cut off his ankle monitor, and then committed a string of crimes ending with his capture in Las Cruces on August 10 after an armed robbery at an Arby’s. He faces state and federal charges including murder, armed robbery, felon in possession of a firearm, and parole violation.

Does anyone have information about Wilson’s movements that morning or about the parking lot scene at Best Buy?
