Mark Lee Solano, 37, was shot and killed in Albuquerque on January 14, 2021. Born January 7, 1984, to Skip and Yolanda Solano, he was a devoted father to Miliana and Markus Solano and partner to Laura Brown. Family remembered him for his humor, big heart, love of the Denver Broncos and golfing with friends.

A Celebration of Life Service was held January 28, 2021, at Family Church, with a Remembrance Service at St. Therese on January 29. By June 2021 no arrests had been announced, and Dominic Solano said the case appeared to have been deprioritized amid a surge of gun violence in Albuquerque; the city had recorded at least 60 homicides by that time. The family continues to seek answers and justice.

If anyone knew Mark, saw him around January 14, 2021, or has information about his shooting, please come forward.
