Noah Tafoya was 17 when he was killed by gunfire at his apartment complex in Albuquerque on September 12, 2019. Investigators tied the shooting to an armed robbery and identified two suspects, Matthew Wood and Everton McNab, whose involvement was linked to the scene.

The case moved through the courts and resulted in a jury finding Matthew Wood guilty of multiple charges, including first-degree murder, on August 2, 2023. Wood was scheduled to be sentenced to life in prison following the conviction.

Noah’s death set off a lengthy investigation and a long legal process; if anyone knew Noah, was at the apartment complex that night, or has information about the robbery and shooting, please come forward.
