Damion Alday was a 19-year-old described by family as hardworking and a devoted brother. On the afternoon of December 27, 2023, police responded to reports of gunfire at Sundoro Park in northwest Albuquerque and found Alday behind a Chevrolet Camaro with multiple gunshot wounds. Surveillance video showed Alday and another young man exiting their cars, arguing, exchanging gunfire, and Alday falling. The other man then approached and shot Alday several additional times, including multiple shots to the head, before fleeing in a Mazda.

Investigators focused on a 17-year-old, Andres Herrera, after license plate readers tracked the Mazda and social media posts surfaced in which Herrera admitted walking up and shooting Alday in the head five times. Detectives said the apparent motive involved revenge linked to Alday’s sister, who the teens believed had cooperated with police after a prior stolen-vehicle crash. On January 15, 2024, police arrested Herrera and charged him with murder and tampering with evidence. Two more teenagers, siblings Evangeline Garcia, 17, and Paul Garcia, 15, were later arrested and charged with open counts of murder; detectives said group chats showed Evangeline discussing recording the incident.

Does anyone have information about Sundoro Park on December 27, 2023, or about Damion’s movements that afternoon?
