Jose Nieves Pepe Hernandez, 47, was fatally shot on April 22, 2019, in Albuquerque while working his postal route. According to reports, Hernandez intervened in a confrontation and was shot by a teenager during the altercation. He died after attempting to help in what neighbors called a senseless act of gun violence.

Hernandez was an Army veteran who served in Iraq, held a civil engineering degree from Arizona State University, and worked as a postal carrier. He had recently started DJing and was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He is survived by his wife, four children, his mother, and several siblings.

A teenager was identified and arrested in connection with the shooting, and the case drew federal attention. Does anyone have information about Hernandez, his route that day, or the events leading up to the shooting?
