Matthew Corral, 33, was found dead on De Vargas Street in downtown Santa Fe on July 21, 2019, at about 12:22 a.m. He was discovered face-down in the roadway with a gunshot wound to his chest near the heart; responders pronounced him dead at the scene after bystanders in an Uber attempted chest compressions.

The Santa Fe Police Department opened a homicide investigation and the autopsy confirmed at least one chest wound from a gunshot. Investigators collected blood and DNA, reviewed surveillance footage from nearby areas including the New Mexico Supreme Court building, and interviewed several people, but key physical evidence such as a shell casing or projectile was not recovered and video quality was insufficient to identify suspects. A man with scratches and a ripped shirt was stopped hours later but no arrests were made.

As of August 2024 the case remained unsolved and cold. Corral’s mother, Karen Corral, has repeatedly sought answers from investigators. Does anyone have information about that night or saw anything on De Vargas Street shortly after midnight on July 21, 2019?
