On October 18, 2019, 21-year-old Cayla Campos was killed in northeastern Albuquerque after she and her boyfriend witnessed an armed robbery while playing Pokémon Go at Bianchetti Park. The pair turned their car to leave when one of the perpetrators, later identified as Izaiah Andres Garcia, fired a rifle at their vehicle. Campos was struck in the head; the driver lost control and the car crashed into a nearby unoccupied home.

Garcia, 23 at the time of the shooting, had already been convicted weeks earlier in the murder of 17-year-old Sean Markey. He was tried for Campos’ murder in February 2024; on March 1, 2024, a jury found him guilty on all counts including first-degree murder, depraved mind murder, shooting at a motor vehicle, armed robbery and related charges. Prosecutors indicated they would seek consecutive sentences that could include life for the murder counts plus additional years for lesser offenses.

Who saw Cayla near Bianchetti Park that night or has information about the robbery that preceded the shooting?
