Consuela T. Rios was 19 when she was shot dead in Albuquerque on July 5, 2017. She and a 19-year-old friend, Daniel Miramontes, were both shot; officers found Rios deceased inside a residence and Miramontes was taken to the University of New Mexico hospital, where he later died. The motive and the shooter’s identity were not immediately clear after the killings.

The investigation led to the arrest of a 19-year-old friend of both victims, Brandon Vigil, who was charged with two counts of first-degree murder. Vigil initially entered a guilty plea but later changed it to no contest during sentencing. Under a plea agreement prosecutors did not seek life without parole; the judge imposed two life terms to be served consecutively, producing a minimum of 60 years before parole eligibility. An appeal against the consecutive sentences was dismissed by the state Supreme Court.

If anyone knew Consuela, Daniel, or the circumstances around July 5, 2017, please share what you remember.
