Michael Lucero, 39, of Zia Pueblo was fatally shot on September 3, 2016, in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven near San Mateo and Kathryn in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The shooting followed an earlier dispute between Lucero and 31-year-old Benjamin Bruce BB Vigil that began when a friend of Lucero’s was setting off fireworks at their apartment complex. The two men encountered one another again later at the 7-Eleven, where the argument escalated and Vigil shot Lucero.

Detectives from the Albuquerque Police Department’s homicide and special investigations divisions investigated. Vigil was arrested on September 9, 2016; a search warrant at the apartment where he was staying turned up a firearm and ammunition. He was charged with Lucero’s murder and booked into jail, and a judge set bond at $500,000 cash or surety.

If anyone knew Michael Lucero, his movements that day, or saw the confrontation at the 7-Eleven, please share what you know.
