On June 4, 2019, 40-year-old Bobby Jason Cook was found in the parking lot of the Motel 6 on University Boulevard in Albuquerque with a gunshot wound to the chest. Albuquerque Police officers rendered aid and he was taken to a hospital, where he later died. No suspects were identified or arrested in connection with the shooting, and the investigation reportedly produced no immediate leads.

Public discussion around the case has included questions about the motel’s security measures — whether guarded entry, functioning surveillance cameras, brighter lighting, or visible patrols were in place and whether management knew of prior incidents or improper activity on the property. The case remains unsolved and there are reports that the family may be considering legal action related to alleged security negligence.
