Summary based on 3 sources


On August 1, 2015, 21-year-old Sergio Chaparro-Loya was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting at a mobile home park on Blake SW in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The investigation led to the arrest of David Lazio-Rios, who was charged with second-degree murder for Chaparro-Loya's death. In June 2017, Lazio-Rios pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Prior to the arrest, Chaparro-Loya's death was among several unsolved homicides in Albuquerque in 2015, with police seeking public assistance due to a lack of witnesses and evidence.

Chaparro-Loya's death contributed to the 405 gun-related fatalities in New Mexico in 2015, highlighting the pervasive issue of gun violence in the state.
