Freddie Mirabal Jr., 42, a White male, was shot inside his home in Albuquerque on the night of Sunday, September 3, 2017. Police were called to the 500 block of San Pablo Street NE, near Louisiana Boulevard, where they found him dead after what investigators said appeared to be a home invasion. Early reports noted the killing happened late Sunday; his obituary later recorded his passing as September 4, 2017.
Neighbors told reporters the block had frequent late-night disturbances, and witnesses described seeing a man running from the scene just after the shooting. The investigation was immediately treated as a homicide, with detectives canvassing the neighborhood for leads and urging anyone with information to contact police. Records of the incident place it in Albuquerque and document that Mirabal was lost to gun violence that weekend.
In the days following, authorities did not announce a suspect in custody. Contemporary coverage said no detailed suspect information was available beyond the witness account of a short male fleeing, and subsequent public listings and cold-case roundups have not reported an arrest tied to Mirabal's killing. As of the latest accessible reports, the case remains publicly unresolved.
