On August 8, 2016, two young men were shot to death at a house at 341 General Marshall NE in Albuquerque. Daniel Chumacero was forced from his vehicle at gunpoint after another car blocked the driveway; Edwin Edsel Ortiz-Parra and Eder Thomas Ortiz-Parra then marched him into the residence. Once inside, the two brothers opened fire. Daniel was shot multiple times, including a fatal chest wound. Juan Carlos Saenz-Ponce also died of gunshot wounds, once to the chest and once to the head. Two other men, Jose Hernandez and Jorge Hernandez, were wounded; Jorge hid in a closet and called 9-1-1.

Three relatives of the Ortiz-Parra brothers — Edwin, Eder, and their cousin Rafael Gonzalez-Parra — were arrested and charged with murder, aggravated battery, and conspiracy. The investigation was a multi-jurisdictional effort and officers used SWAT and crisis negotiation resources to take the suspects into custody. Edwin Edsel Ortiz-Parra was later convicted of multiple offenses, including two counts of first-degree murder, and an appeal to the New Mexico Supreme Court was unsuccessful.

If anyone knew Daniel, Juan Carlos, or has information about the events at 341 General Marshall NE, please share what you remember.
