Julie Lynn Harris, 52, was killed at her Aztec, New Mexico, home on July 30, 2021, when multiple shots were fired through her front door. Her 15-year-old daughter was in the house at the time but was not injured. Investigators say 21-year-old Jaden Ortega, a friend of Harris’s son, was arrested and charged in connection with the killing.

Authorities allege Ortega knew about a safe containing firearms in the residence, and that a robbery motive may have been involved. Cell phone records, surveillance footage and social media activity are reported to link Ortega to the crime, and ballistic testing matched shell casings from Harris’s house to casings from a July 20, 2021 drive-by shooting near Farmington for which Ortega was also a suspect. Witness testimony and forensic evidence are cited among the prosecution’s links to the two shootings.

Does anyone have information about Julie’s life in Aztec or about events around July 2021 that could help investigators?
