Devin Perez, an 18-year-old Hispanic man, was fatally shot outside a Circle K at 1100 Old Coors SW in Albuquerque in the early hours of April 13, 2023. Earlier that evening he had been drinking with his girlfriend and two others, identified as 23-year-old Kyle Dayea and 19-year-old Tylea Chavez. An argument with his girlfriend prompted Perez to leave on foot before the shooting.

Detectives later named Dayea and Chavez as primary suspects. Chavez told police she and Dayea went looking for Perez after dropping off his girlfriend, found him at the Circle K, and that Dayea, who she said suffers from schizophrenia, grabbed a shotgun and shot Perez four times after their SUV hit a curb and got a flat tire. Dayea at first said he had blacked out but then said Chavez told him to get Perez and to pick up the shotgun shell after the shooting. Both were arrested on April 26, 2023, and booked on open counts of murder and tampering with evidence; officers recovered three shotguns, phones, and the vehicle used during the homicide.

Are there witnesses who were at the Circle K that night or anyone with dashcam or surveillance video who can help clarify what happened?
