A parking-lot dispute in Albuquerque turned deadly on April 12, 2022. Two men were shot after an argument in the DK convenience store lot at 13601 Copper Ave. N.E.; 42-year-old Kenneth Sweetwater died at the scene and 32-year-old Dominic Sanchez fought for his life for three days before dying on April 15, 2022.

Surveillance footage and witness statements led investigators to identify 48-year-old Marcos Vigil as the suspected shooter. Police arrested Vigil and charged him with two counts of first-degree murder. At trial, Vigil’s defense said he acted in self-defense, claiming he was protecting himself and his son. Prosecutors disputed that account, noting evidence including claims that both victims were shot in the back as they tried to flee.

The jury returned a not guilty verdict for Vigil. Does anyone have information about Sanchez’s last hours or the altercation in that parking lot?
