Michael Sherwood, 39, of Chimayo, New Mexico, was brought to an Albuquerque hospital on Saturday, July 30, 2022, suffering severe and undisclosed injuries. He died the next day, Sunday, July 31, 2022. The way he arrived at the hospital and the severity of his injuries led the Albuquerque Police Department to assign homicide detectives and treat the death as suspicious.

Little has been released about how Michael was injured or what happened before he was taken to the hospital. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified. He is remembered by family and friends as a loving, talented man — a carpenter who built houses, a guitar player and a tattoo artist — and is survived by parents, children, stepchildren and grandchildren.

If anyone has information about Michael’s movements or who might have been with him in late July 2022, please share what is known.
