In the quiet city of Farmington, New Mexico, the life of 45-year-old Iran Brian Olguin was tragically cut short on the evening of December 15, 2021. Around 9:15 p.m., the sound of gunfire shattered the peace in the 700 block of Zuni Drive, prompting multiple calls to the Farmington Police Department. When officers arrived at the residence, they discovered a harrowing scene: Olguin had sustained a gunshot wound to his chest.
Paramedics acted swiftly, rushing him to the San Juan Regional
Medical Center in a desperate attempt to save his life. Despite their efforts, Iran Olguin succumbed to his injuries later that night. His sudden and violent death left his family and community in a state of shock and grief. A resident of Farmington, he was remembered by loved ones for his love of life, particularly the time he spent with his family and his enjoyment of camping.
The Farmington Police Department immediately launched an investigation into the shooting. However, details regarding a potential motive or any person of interest have remained elusive. To date, no arrests have been made in connection with the homicide, and authorities have not publicly identified any suspects. The case remains an open and ongoing investigation.
In the absence of closure, Olguin's family laid him to rest, holding a funeral mass on January 15, 2022, at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Farmington. The investigation into who is responsible for the death of Iran Olguin continues, with law enforcement encouraging anyone with information to come forward.
