Jonathan Garza was a 30-year-old father, personal trainer and business owner from Albuquerque remembered for his smile, kindness and devotion to his daughter Anayjah. He worked for the city and with organizations serving adults with disabilities before building a career in fitness and bodybuilding.

On the night of February 19, 2022, a fight broke out among a group outside Canvas Artistry, a downtown bar at One Central Avenue. Witnesses said Jonathan was defending his brother and trying to break up the altercation when someone shot him several times. He died of his injuries.

Albuquerque Police detectives used witness descriptions, surveillance video, social media and cell phone data to identify three suspects. In May 2022 police arrested 19-year-old Isaac Martinez and charged him with murder; Alejandro Barton and Armando Martinez were later arrested in connection with the killing. Two men later admitted to roles related to the case and received sentences for tampering and for helping cover up the murder.

If anyone saw the confrontation outside Canvas Artistry that night or has information about who fired the shots, please come forward.
