Devon Heyborne, 22, was shot and killed at his Albuquerque apartment on April 23, 2021. Heyborne, who had recently moved to Albuquerque from Los Lunas, was at home in the 800 block of Locust NE when someone fired a shotgun blast through his apartment door; he died of wounds to his chest and wrist. His girlfriend was present and heard a knock before the shots.

Investigators identified 21-year-old Devin Munford as the shooter. Munford was on pretrial supervision for an unrelated charge of firing a pistol from a car and had been placed on home arrest with a GPS ankle monitor and a prohibition on firearms. Prosecutors say Munford left his home many times in the weeks before the killing and that GPS data — including a battery replacement visit to pretrial services less than five hours before the shooting — tracked his trip to Heyborne’s apartment.

The case has drawn attention to gaps in pretrial monitoring and supervision cited by New Mexico’s Attorney General as a system strained by the shift from jail custody to community oversight. Does anyone have information about Heyborne’s movements that day or knew him personally?
