Devlin Isiah Rubi, 23, was fatally shot on March 5, 2022, in northeast Albuquerque near Wyoming Boulevard and Krim Drive. Officers found Rubi deceased in the driver’s seat of a vehicle with multiple gunshot wounds just before midnight. Witnesses say an argument between Rubi and 43-year-old David Padilla escalated from a physical fight inside the residence to the driveway, where Rubi allegedly shot Padilla in the leg. Padilla then reportedly retrieved the firearm and fired about 13 rounds into Rubi’s vehicle as he tried to leave; Rubi died at the scene. Padilla, who was on parole at the time for prior armed robbery and aggravated assault convictions, was arrested and charged with murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Rubi is remembered by family and friends as courageous, witty, compassionate and charismatic, and as the devoted owner of a dog named Drako.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who recall that night or who can add details about the confrontation or what happened in the driveway?
