Richard Milan, 64, was visiting Santa Fe, New Mexico with his wife in the fall of 2018. On the evening of September 27, while walking the couple’s dog, he encountered a group of five teenagers; a verbal altercation followed and Milan was shot and killed.

Investigators focused on a group that included 17-year-old Zachary Gutierrez, Jesus Arrieta-Perez, and three girls. Early statements from members of the group implicated Gutierrez, and he was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. At trial two of the girls recanted and testified that Arrieta-Perez fired the fatal shot. Gutierrez testified that Arrieta-Perez was the shooter. Arrieta-Perez had earlier told police he hadn’t seen who shot Milan but later named Gutierrez after being arrested on an unrelated federal weapons charge. The murder weapon was never recovered.

On July 16, 2021, Gutierrez was acquitted of Milan’s murder and, as of late 2021, no one else had been charged. Does anyone have information about that night or the people who were with Milan and the teens?
