Juan Carlos Romero, 26, was shot and killed on February 7, 2017, while walking near his Albuquerque home close to the University of New Mexico campus. The shooting occurred on the sidewalk at Stanford and Central Avenue, an area usually busy because of the nearby university. Police found Romero dead at the scene and noted he still had his personal valuables, making robbery an unlikely motive.

Romero graduated from St. Pius High School and held multiple degrees from the University of New Mexico; he was a graduate student with interests in the intersection of philosophy and science. Investigators have described the shooting as either targeted or random. No eyewitnesses or video surveillance have been identified, and there have been no arrests or named suspects; the case is currently cold.

Does anyone who was in the area that night or who knew Juan have information that could help investigators?
