Isaiah Herrera, 19, of Nambe, New Mexico, was killed on February 4, 2021 during what investigators say was a premeditated robbery tied to a marijuana deal. Herrera had recently graduated from Pojoaque Valley High School and was mourned by family and his community.

Authorities say 17-year-old Abram Martinez conspired with two other teenagers to rob Herrera; the robbery escalated and Martinez shot and killed him. Herrera’s body was left on the side of a road. The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office investigated the case and later arrested Martinez about five months after the murder.

Martinez was charged and pleaded guilty to first-degree felony murder as part of a plea deal that fixed his sentence. At sentencing the judge imposed 30 years, with 15 years to be served and 15 years suspended, plus five years supervised probation and two years of mandatory parole. Family members addressed the court during the hearing.
