Adam Philip Duarte, 33, was shot and killed at a casita in the 2400 block of Mountain Road near Rio Grande in Albuquerque in the early morning of May 24, 2023. Neighbors reported about ten gunshots around 5 a.m.; Duarte was found inside on the floor in a pool of blood and died after being taken to hospital.

The shooting appears to connect to an earlier altercation the previous evening at an adult entertainment venue called Fantasy World. Duarte had argued there with Bryan Perello and another person; a friend told police the dispute involved money owed to Duarte related to drugs. Surveillance captured a black pickup truck fleeing the scene, and shoe prints at both the club and Duarte’s residence were later matched to Perello’s footwear. Ballistics indicated two different firearms were used, consistent with witness statements about two shooters.

Two suspects have been linked to the case. A warrant was issued for a woman named Marisa Chavez on murder and conspiracy charges. Who has information about Duarte, his movements the night before, or the people he was with at Fantasy World?
