Harvey Saavedra was 42 when he was fatally shot on April 28, 2017, in a mobile home park in southeast Albuquerque, New Mexico. The killing prompted an investigation that identified 30-year-old Cory W. Chandler as a suspect. On May 8, 2017, an arrest warrant charging Chandler with first-degree murder was issued; police warned he should be considered armed and dangerous and urged the public not to approach him.

Chandler was arrested later in May and was at one point held on a separate minor shoplifting charge with bond set at $100. In late June 2017 a judge ordered his release with supervision on the murder charge after prosecutors were found not to have presented sufficient evidence at that stage to justify his continued detention. Saavedra’s family and community were left mourning; anyone with information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
