Fifteen-year-old Evyn Scott was killed on March 14, 2019, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Family members say he was reported missing before his body was found and that he was allegedly killed by people he considered friends. Law enforcement says Evyn was lured into a vehicle under false pretenses. Inside the car were Madison Porch driving, Scott Spencer, Alex Wilson and another unidentified male; Russell Spencer was hidden in the trunk. The group reportedly beat Evyn while driving toward the East Mountains, then threw him from the vehicle on the side of New Mexico Highway 14 and shot him multiple times. His body was discovered days later.

The investigation produced arrests: Scott Spencer, 19, and two 17-year-olds, Russell Spencer and Alex Wilson, were charged with kidnapping and murder. Reports say Scott Spencer was also charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor; charges for the two 17-year-olds were still being determined soon after arrest. No clear official motive was released, though Evyn’s grandmother suggested it might relate to threats Evyn had made against Russell Spencer. Evyn’s mother noted the car’s license plate after feeling uneasy, and that information helped lead detectives to the suspects.

Evyn’s family described deep grief and regret; his mother recalled telling him she loved him and spending days searching for him, even contacting friends later accused in the case. Does anyone have information about Evyn, his movements that night, or the vehicle involved?
