Rafael Serra Jr., a 21-year-old Hispanic male, was found dead in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on January 29, 2012. His family later laid him to rest at San Jose de Armijo Cemetery, a small marker of permanence amid the unanswered questions that lingered around his death.
Public records and community postings point to a case that has remained unresolved, with no officially named suspect and no publicly announced arrests connected to his killing. The Albuquerque Police Department continues to maintain pages for active and cold homicide investigations, but open-source reporting specific to Serra’s case offers no investigative disclosures beyond his identification and date of death, underscoring the silence that often surrounds older, unsolved Albuquerque homicides.
