Jaycob Ray Alba was 17 when he was shot and killed during a burglary in Las Cruces, New Mexico, on July 31, 2015. Authorities describe the fatal shooting as accidental: during the burglary Alba was shot by a suspect identified only by the surname Hermans. Alba was born June 2, 1998, in Las Cruces and his family and community remembered him after the sudden death.

Multiple suspects were arrested in the days after the shooting. Doña Ana County Sheriff Deputies took into custody several teenagers, including Daniel Munoz, Jordan Gift and Adrian Hortelano. A fourth suspect, also 17, was arrested on August 1, 2015. Jordan Gift had his probation revoked when he was arrested in connection with the case.

Legal action continued into the following year, with one Las Cruces man entering a guilty plea to murder in August 2016. What details about the burglary, the shot that killed Jaycob, or the suspect Hermans remain unclear to the public?
