On June 13, 1998, 48-year-old Jose Ernesto Montano, also known as Joe Ernest Montano, was shot and killed outside his home at 2553 Isleta Road SW in Albuquerque. Deputies from the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office found Montano’s body after witnesses reported hearing arguing and at least two gunshots. Witnesses said the shooter left in a small silver-colored vehicle, and investigators believe the attack was targeted rather than random.

The case has been classified as a cold case by the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office. There are no arrests or publicly identified suspects in connection with Montano’s death, and the silver car description remains one of the few concrete leads.

Did anyone in the area remember hearing the argument that night or see a small silver car leaving Isleta Road SW on June 13, 1998?
