On the evening of April 20, 2019, a house party near Los Lunas, New Mexico, ended in gunfire that left three men dead. One of the victims was 28-year-old Nathan Morrison of Belen. The other two were 40-year-old Darren Bernal and 29-year-old Joseph Santiago.

Witnesses reported seeing an SUV flee the area after shots were fired. Deputies from the Valencia County Sheriff’s Office located a nearby vehicle and arrested three people: 18-year-old Brandon Dowdy, 19-year-old Robert Wilson, and a 17-year-old later identified as Anthony Williams. All three were charged with three counts of murder in connection with the shootings.

In December 2021, plea agreements were approved for the three defendants. Brandon Dowdy received four years of probation; Robert Wilson was given six months of probation; Anthony Williams, who was a minor at the time and admitted to being the shooter, was placed in custody of the Children, Youth and Families Department for one year.

Did anyone who attended that party or knew Nathan see or hear anything that could clarify what happened that night?
