Eduardo Lerma-Escobar, 21, male, died on July 29, 2018 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Born in Las Vegas, Nevada, he had called New Mexico home for years and graduated from Moriarty High School in 2015. Family and friends remembered him by his nickname “Eddie,” and gathered in early August 2018 for a rosary and funeral Mass in Moriarty, sharing memories of his easy smile and the closeness he kept with those around him.
Albuquerque police have classified his death as a homicide and placed his case among the city's active unsolved investigations from 2018. Public materials associated with that list identify him as an unsolved homicide victim from that year. Despite the passage of time, authorities have not publicly announced an arrest or identified a suspect, and his case remains open.
