On May 9, 2022, a domestic argument at a home on Ortiz Dr. NE in northeast Albuquerque ended with 42-year-old Hispanic woman Misty Muniz shot once in the head and killed. Witnesses said the dispute between Muniz and her boyfriend had begun the day before, the couple had a history of fighting, threats had been made against her previously, and the confrontation turned physical. Those present reported hearing a pop from the room and then saw the boyfriend with a gun; the boyfriend reportedly acknowledged to witnesses that he had shot her. The suspect’s sister called 911 to report that her brother had shot his girlfriend. Officers from the Albuquerque Police Department found Muniz deceased inside the home.

In the days after the shooting police identified 38-year-old Vicente Reyes as the suspect and obtained a warrant charging him with open-count murder. Reyes was reported as not apprehended and is being sought by authorities. If anyone knew Misty Muniz, saw activity around Ortiz Dr. NE on or after May 9, 2022, or has information on Vicente Reyes’ whereabouts, please come forward.
