In the early morning hours of December 27, 2015, a party at a trailer park in the South Valley area of Albuquerque turned deadly when a fight among attendees spilled into the street and gunfire erupted around 5:30 a.m. Eighteen-year-old Arturo Villa, a Hispanic male, was shot during the altercation and later died of his injuries at a local hospital. Two other teenagers, both 17, were also shot and survived.

Investigators quickly identified suspects. Eighteen-year-old Esias Madrid was arrested and charged with Villa’s murder. Police also named 22-year-old Jack Daniel Trujillo as a suspect; an arrest warrant was issued accusing him of shooting one of the 17-year-old victims, and he was later taken into custody. The shooting appears to have followed the fight that started at the party.

If anyone was at that gathering or has information about what led to the fight and shooting, please share what is known.
