In the quiet South Valley of Albuquerque, the night of November 7, 2025, was shattered by the sound of gunfire, leaving two men dead and a community in shock. One of the victims was identified as Hector Rios. The other man who lost his life was identified only as Yorces. The Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office responded to a call at a residence on Entrada Bonita St.
SW, where they discovered the bodies of the two men.
The investigation into the double homicide led deputies to Alexis Hernandez. In a strange and disturbing confession, Hernandez admitted to the killings. He told investigators that he had received an encrypted message from a cockroach, instructing him to kill Rios. It was this bizarre directive, he claimed, that led to the deaths of both Hector Rios and Yorces.
Following his confession, Alexis Hernandez was taken into custody. A judge has since ruled that he will remain in custody as his case moves through the judicial process. The community is left to grapple with the senseless violence and the unsettling motive behind the tragic deaths of Hector Rios and Yorces.
