On May 29, 2016, 24-year-old Alfredo Ayala was shot in the head and killed during a violent home invasion in southwest Albuquerque, in the 8900 block of Alvera Avenue SW. Ayala and three other men were forced inside a residence at gunpoint by three suspects, who separated the occupants — including the homeowner’s wife and a young child — into different rooms while searching the house for drugs and money. At least one victim was handcuffed during the incident.

Velasquez was arrested near 64th and Juniper NW and charged with an open count of murder plus numerous violent felonies. The two alleged accomplices were not identified in the report, and it is not clear whether they were arrested or charged.

Does anyone have information about the two unidentified suspects or about events at the Alvera Avenue address that night?
