Isaac Candelaria, a 43-year-old Navy veteran, was shot and killed on January 16, 2019, at a bus stop near Old Town in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The shooting followed a confrontation during which a man later identified as Elijah Amos attempted to steal Candelaria’s bicycle; the two became involved in a physical altercation and Candelaria was fatally shot.

Police arrested Elijah Amos in connection with the killing and investigators said the theft of the bicycle was the motive that led to the deadly confrontation. The family and community were left grieving after the loss of Candelaria, and the case drew attention for how a dispute over property turned fatal.
