Elijah Pino, 42, was fatally shot at a bus stop at Wyoming and Central Avenue SE in Albuquerque on September 30, 2022. Officers called to the scene that Friday afternoon found Pino on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds; he later died from those injuries.

A criminal complaint and surveillance footage described a confrontation before the shooting. The footage allegedly shows a man, identified as 37-year-old Henry Atkinson, getting off a bus with four other people and approaching Pino. An altercation broke out, and while a woman reportedly taunted Pino, Atkinson is alleged to have shot him multiple times, then threw Pino to the ground and walked away. The catalyst for the initial confrontation has not been explained.
