Fermin Rodriguez-Gonzalez, 21, was shot and killed in Albuquerque in July 2006.

The shooter is identified as Rigoberto Ruiz-Alatorre, described as a bodyguard for a high-ranking Sinaloa Cartel member. Ruiz-Alatorre allegedly shot Fermin to prevent him from providing law enforcement with information about narcotics activities.

The case later moved into the federal system. In May 2014 Ruiz-Alatorre pleaded guilty to Fermin’s murder as part of proceedings that followed federal drug and firearms charges, and in September 2014 he received a 28-year federal prison sentence.

If anyone knew Fermin, his movements in Albuquerque that July, or has information about the case, please share what is known.
