On December 3, 2017, 46-year-old Johnny U. Armijo was found murdered in the backyard of his South Valley home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Responding to the scene, Bernalillo County Sheriff's Deputies discovered Armijo's body with a fatal gunshot wound to the face, along with other unspecified facial injuries.
Armijo was a dedicated family man, known for his strong work ethic and commitment to his loved ones.
He had been married to his wife, Georgia, for over 21 years, and they shared a daughter together. Professionally, he worked at Valley Fence Company for more than 25 years, earning respect for his tireless dedication. Beyond his professional life, Armijo was actively involved in his community and church, often volunteering his time and spreading his love for the Lord.
In the wake of his tragic death, Armijo's family has been seeking justice. They have offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of his killer. Despite these efforts, as of now, no suspects have been identified, and the case remains unsolved. The Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate, urging anyone with information to come forward.
The loss of Johnny Armijo has left a profound void in the lives of his family and community. His wife, Georgia, expressed deep sorrow over the fact that their daughter, who was engaged at the time of his death, would have to proceed with her wedding without her father to walk her down the aisle. The family continues to hope for closure and justice for Johnny, relying on the support of the community and law enforcement to bring his killer to account.
