Daniel Heath Mora, 38, was shot and killed on March 29, 2022, while working as a security guard at the Ambassador Inn in northeast Albuquerque. A Hispanic father of five, his family described him as the rock for his three sons, Shaden, Rohnin, and Jerle, and said he worked hard to provide a home and support for his children.

Authorities linked Daniel’s death to a violent crime spree and charged Donovan Bookout in connection with the killing and other offenses from that series of crimes. Bookout’s competency was raised during court proceedings. A jury heard testimony from 15 witnesses and found Donovan Bookout guilty of first-degree murder. A judge sentenced him to life plus 41 years, with the term to be served at the behavioral health hospital in Las Vegas, New Mexico.
