Sonia Lyla Tenorio, 46, and her 31-year-old nephew, Daniel Humphrey, were shot and killed at their Albuquerque apartment on September 2, 2022. Police responded to reports of gunfire shortly after 9 p.m. at the complex on 59th Street NW. Daniel was found outside with multiple gunshot wounds; Sonia was found inside, also shot multiple times. Both died of their injuries.

Investigators described the attack as targeted and focused on an upstairs neighbor, John Paul Ballejos. Neighbors and police reports say the relationship between Ballejos and the Humphrey family had been hostile after an incident in July 2022 when a bullet allegedly came down through the floor into the Humphreys’ apartment, prompting eviction proceedings. In the weeks before the killings, Ballejos reportedly sent harassing texts to Daniel’s sister, Cynthia.

Surveillance footage from the night shows a hooded person approach the apartment, leave when nobody answered, then return as Daniel approached; the footage shows that person shooting Daniel and then entering and shooting Sonia. The next day SWAT arrested John Paul Ballejos after a brief standoff. Does anyone have additional information about Sonia, Daniel, or the events at the 59th Street NW complex?
