On July 8, 2019, 28-year-old Jasen Mulvaney was shot and killed near a construction site at Edith and El Pueblo Road in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A property caretaker, Orlando Astorga, spotted an unfamiliar SUV on the land he was watching and encountered Mulvaney and his girlfriend outside the vehicle. Accounts differ about what happened next: Astorga told authorities he heard a sound he believed was a gunshot and then fired at the approaching SUV, striking Mulvaney; Mulvaney’s girlfriend said they had taken a shovel, attempted to leave, and that Astorga blocked their exit and chased them before the shooting.

Mulvaney died of his wounds. Astorga was initially arrested on a murder charge, but that charge was later dropped while investigators pursued a more thorough inquiry into the circumstances. Mulvaney had a reported history of property-related offenses. No further arrests or other publicly identified suspects have been announced and the investigation remains open.

Did anyone in the area witness the confrontation near Edith and El Pueblo Road that day or have information about the SUV or the events leading up to the shooting?
