Adrian Porras was an 18-year-old Hispanic male who had graduated high school five days earlier when he was shot to death in Albuquerque on the evening of June 1, 2023. Officers found him inside his vehicle at the intersection of Hanover Road and 80th Street NW, near Laurelwood Park on the city’s West Side, shortly after 6:00 p.m.

Investigators say Porras had arranged a meeting through social media to sell marijuana cartridges, and that social media messages and cell phone data connected a man named Jorge Luevano to the planned meeting and the scene. Detectives also linked shell casings from the gun used in Porras’s killing to several other recent Albuquerque shootings. Police arrested Luevano in Southeast Albuquerque on June 7 and charged him with first-degree murder; a second person, Carlos Portillo, was also charged and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Are there witnesses or local readers who saw activity near Hanover Road and 80th Street NW that evening or who knew Adrian and can help fill in missing details?
