Elijah Mirabal was 22 when he was fatally shot in Albuquerque on October 29, 2020. He went to North Domingo Baca Park believing he would meet a girl to complete a prearranged marijuana sale and was accompanied by another man. The meeting turned into an attempted robbery when two teenagers, 18-year-old Jaden Sandoval and 17-year-old Noah Duran, confronted them. Mirabal tried to flee by driving away; Sandoval and Duran opened fire on the vehicle. Mirabal was killed and his passenger was wounded.

Both Sandoval and Duran later surrendered to authorities and faced multiple charges, including murder. Jaden Sandoval pleaded no contest to conspiracy and armed robbery and was sentenced to nine years in prison; Noah Duran, who fired the shot that killed Mirabal, was sentenced to 29 years. If anyone has information about what led up to that meeting or remembers the events at the park that day, please share what you know.
