On August 15, 2016, Angelica Herrera, a 27-year-old resident of Albuquerque, New Mexico, was tragically killed in a double homicide. The incident occurred just after 11 p.m. near Coors Boulevard and El Charro, where Herrera and 28-year-old Adrian Anaya were fatally shot following an argument.
The Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office identified 27-year-old Eric Armando Ferrer as the primary suspect in the shootings.
An arrest warrant was issued for Ferrer, charging him with two counts of homicide. Investigators believe that Ferrer fled to Mexico shortly after the incident to evade capture.
Despite ongoing efforts by law enforcement, including collaboration with the U.S. Marshals Service, Ferrer remains at large. Authorities have offered a substantial cash reward for information leading to his arrest, emphasizing the danger he poses to the community. Family members of the victims, particularly Anaya's mother, have made public pleas for justice, expressing the deep pain and loss caused by the murders.
Angelica Herrera's death has left a profound void in the lives of her family and friends. She was remembered in an obituary as a beloved daughter and sister, survived by her parents, Sandra and Charles Herrera, and her brother, Nathan. Funeral services were held on August 31, 2016, at Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Albuquerque.
As of January 2025, the search for Eric Ferrer continues. Authorities urge anyone with information regarding his whereabouts to come forward, stressing the importance of community assistance in apprehending the suspect and bringing closure to the grieving families.
