Jose Holguin was 20 when he was fatally shot in the head on October 29, 1999, while driving with friends near Rio Grande High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The shooting was sudden and violent, and his family has been left without closure.

Despite ongoing investigations, no suspects have been identified or apprehended in connection with Holguin’s murder. The case is one of roughly 50 cold cases in Bernalillo County. In 2013 the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office reorganized its Cold Case Unit, adding two experienced investigators and trying new tactics to generate leads, including distributing playing cards to inmates that feature cold case victims.

No arrests have been announced in Holguin’s killing, and the lack of identified suspects continues to hinder progress. If anyone knew Jose, was in the area that night, or has information about the shooting, contact authorities with any tips.
