Melissa Barreras, 48, was found shot to death in her Albuquerque home on June 26, 2022. Her death occurred amid a sequence of events that morning when her husband, 50-year-old Raymond Barreras Jr., confronted their 23-year-old son, Raymond David Barreras III, at a Circle K near 98th and Central. Surveillance showed the father firing a handgun at the son’s car as it drove off; the father was later seen falling to the ground, dead of a gunshot wound to the head.

About 30 minutes after that encounter the son called 911 saying his father had shot at him and expressing concern for his mother. Police found Melissa dead at the family home near Arenal and Unser SW. The son was briefly arrested on a murder charge, but prosecutors later dropped it after surveillance footage and preliminary autopsy results led them to conclude Raymond Jr. had taken his own life. With the father’s death reclassified as a suicide, police identified Raymond Barreras Jr. as the main suspect in Melissa’s homicide; investigators say he was the only person seen leaving the house that morning before going to the gas station.

The homicide investigation into Melissa’s death remains open. Does anyone have information about the family or that neighborhood on June 26, 2022?
