Lawrence Howard, 29, was shot on the afternoon of January 29, 2020, near Kathryn Avenue and Arizona Street in southeast Albuquerque. Officers found him with a gunshot wound to the head and he was taken to a hospital. Victim records later list him as having lost to gun violence that day in Albuquerque.

Within two days police identified the suspect as Howard’s 14-year-old cousin, Jevyn Steadman, who turned himself in and was booked on an open count of murder and related gun charges. A criminal complaint described an argument at a home in the San Pedro/Kathryn area after the teen had been showing off a stolen gun; Howard followed him outside to calm things down, and a single shot rang out.

Early proceedings included prosecutors seeking adult-level handling and defense challenges on competency and juvenile-process issues. The criminal case against the lone identified suspect later resolved with a guilty plea and sentence, and no additional arrests were reported. Did anyone in the San Pedro or Kathryn Avenue area see or hear anything that afternoon?
