On October 18, 2023, 19-year-old Santiago Roybal was shot and killed in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The sequence began when a woman, Raeanna Ruiz, believed Roybal was in her backyard; her 16-year-old daughter had reportedly suspected for months that a man had been stalking her and looking into her window. Ruiz, her 16-year-old daughter Dylana Barela, and 15-year-old son Christopher Barela searched for Roybal and were captured on surveillance footage pursuing him in a white SUV.

Roybal ran to a friend’s apartment at an apartment complex on Tulane Drive NE shortly before 11 a.m. as the friend let him inside and closed the door. Audio from surveillance recorded a female voice saying Shoot through the door, followed by four gunshots. Roybal was struck in the chest and died at the scene; his friend was shot in the abdomen and survived. A male and female were seen fleeing after the shooting.

On November 14, 2023, Albuquerque police arrested Ruiz and her two children; during the arrest, Dylana Barela confessed to firing the shots that killed Roybal. Ruiz and her children were charged with murder, tampering with evidence, and conspiracy. Did anyone in the neighborhood see the white SUV or the people involved that morning?
