Ryan Albert Saavedra Jr., an 18-year-old from Albuquerque, New Mexico, was shot and killed on April 21, 2021 during a drug-related robbery that had been arranged through social media. The transaction was set up the night before when Arianna Hawkins arranged to meet Saavedra at a park; the meeting was a ruse to rob him and his girlfriend.

Five people were involved in the robbery. Ajole Guzman allegedly sprayed Saavedra in the face with mace while the group attempted the theft. As Saavedra’s girlfriend tried to drive away, Domminick Mullen, 21, shot Saavedra while he was in the passenger seat. The group then fled in a car driven by Christian Benson, 21. Elijah Tafoya, 19, is reported to have been aware of and involved in planning the robbery though he did not take part in the physical confrontation.

All five individuals have been charged in connection with the killing. Does anyone have information about the events that night or about Saavedra’s movements prior to April 21, 2021?
