Felipe Vigil, a 40-year-old Hispanic man, was killed in Albuquerque on January 1, 2023. Shortly after 1 a.m., an altercation at the Adam Market at 7817 Central Ave. N.E. escalated in the parking lot when Vigil was punched by multiple people and knocked to the ground. He got up and ran; surveillance footage and witnesses say 33-year-old Martin Osoria then grabbed a handgun, pursued Vigil and reportedly said he intended to kill him. ShotSpotter recorded gunfire nearby and officers found Vigil deceased in the street. An autopsy determined Vigil had been shot four times.

Homicide detectives later identified Osoria as the primary suspect. On February 1, 2023, Osoria was arrested on unrelated federal narcotics charges; a search of a Charleston St. residence reportedly turned up firearms, narcotics and a mask alleged to have been worn the night of the shooting. A state warrant charging open count murder was subsequently issued in Vigil’s death. Vigil was known to friends and family as a talented tattoo artist with a big heart who was loved by many.

If anyone witnessed the incident at Adam Market or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
