Teen arrested in connection to deadly parking garage shooting

Police arrested another juvenile for allegedly killing a teen in a downtown Albuquerque parking garage in June.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M – Police arrested another juvenile for allegedly killing a teen in a downtown Albuquerque parking garage in June.  

17-year-old Ruben Valdez is on his way to jail. Police say he shot and killed 17-year-old Mariano Salazar in the parking garage near Second and Gold.

But it appears there was a plethora of guns on all sides in this case. Police say after Salazar was shot, those with him took at least one gun from his car, along with a pillowcase full of stuff. 

They claim Salazar was known to trade guns from his car. 

Apparently, Valdez and Salazar’s friend were in a feud and that led to at least one prior shooting.
