Tony Morgan, 50, known to some as Fast Tony, was shot and killed at a residence on Ivy Place SW in Albuquerque on February 5, 2017. The Albuquerque Police Department opened an intensive homicide investigation; a warrant was issued for 27-year-old Raymond Ortiz on a murder charge.

Officers located Ortiz the next morning at a Motel 6 in Espanola, about 90 miles north of Albuquerque. New Mexico State Police and APD’s SWAT team confronted Ortiz; after a standoff he was taken into custody and booked into the Santa Fe County Jail. A 28-year-old woman, Victoria Pearson, was also found in the motel room and initially arrested on a charge of harboring a fugitive. After she gave a statement she was released, though authorities said she remained a person of interest and charges could be refiled.

The motive for Morgan’s killing was not released. Does anyone have information about Tony Morgan, his activities in Albuquerque, or what led up to the shooting on February 5, 2017?
