On the evening of March 4, 2024, 24-year-old Jacob Rivera was shot and killed in an alleyway near 112 Indiana St. S.E., close to the intersection of Central Avenue and Louisiana Boulevard in Albuquerque. A ShotSpotter activation recorded about 10 gunshots. Rivera was with a woman who told detectives they were smoking Fentanyl when the shooting began; she was shot in the leg and survived. Rivera was struck nine times and later died at a hospital.

A witness said the shooting followed a dispute over the price of Fentanyl and that one man present, Isaiah Siddell, was recognized by another as someone who had shot him on January 31, 2024. The witness identified a man known as Memphis, later identified as 25-year-old Gabriel Valenzuela-Greene Jr., as the shooter and reported post-shooting boasting. Investigators tied surveillance video, phone evidence, and ballistics to the suspects and to the firearm used in the January incident. SWAT arrested Valenzuela-Greene on March 15, 2024; Siddell surrendered five days later and both were charged with murder. Siddell later pleaded no contest to conspiracy to commit second-degree murder in connection with Rivera’s death.

Did anyone in the Albuquerque area see or hear anything in that alley on March 4 that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
