On August 28, 2022, two people were shot and killed at an apartment complex at 9223 Marron Circle N.E., near Lomas Boulevard and I-25 in Northeast Albuquerque. Officers arriving after a 5:21 a.m. shooting found 33-year-old Nicole Amaya and 49-year-old Bernabe Jurado with fatal gunshot wounds; both died at the scene.

Investigators say the shooting followed a confrontation between Nicole Amaya and the girlfriend of 27-year-old Jayme Olson over money and property. Witnesses reported that the verbal and physical altercation escalated, after which Olson shot Amaya and then shot Jurado, who had witnessed the first shooting. APD homicide detectives say they gathered evidence and witness statements that led to charges.

Olson was arrested on November 28, 2022, in Mountainair, New Mexico, and booked into the Metro Detention Center. In December 2022 he pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and tampering with evidence. Does anyone have information about Amaya, Jurado, or the events at the apartment that morning?
