A neighborhood dispute in Albuquerque turned deadly on the evening of July 12, 2023, when 24-year-old Jonathan Zamora was shot after returning to his home. Tensions between Zamora and a neighbor had been brewing over complaints including the smell of marijuana and an incident in which Zamora allegedly kicked a shared fence while the neighbor’s dogs were loose. The day before the shooting they reportedly had a physical confrontation.

On the night Zamora was killed, the neighbor arrived in Zamora’s driveway with two coworkers. One of those coworkers, 27-year-old Erik Rodriguez, is alleged to have provoked Zamora and then fired several handgun shots as Zamora exited his vehicle, fatally striking him. Albuquerque Police homicide detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Rodriguez on July 20 and he was located, arrested, and booked into the Metro Detention Center. The case is moving through the legal system.

If anyone witnessed the confrontation in the driveway or has information about events leading up to the shooting, please share what is known.
