ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Homicide detectives with the Albuquerque Police Department arrested two teenagers for the deadly shooting of another teen in a West Side park.

According to APD, detectives arrested 17-year-old Adrian Torres on Thursday for the shooting death of 15-year-old Manuel Ortega. They also charged 16-year-old Uriel Alonso for the shooting but police say he turned himself in Saturday.

Detectives said Ortega and his brother arranged through the Telegram app to meet Torres and purchase a gun from him Dec. 31 at Anderson Mesa Park, near Unser Boulevard and Dennis Chavez Boulevard. After Torres and Alonso arrived first, detectives said Torres hid behind a bush and Alonso jumped into the driver’s seat.

Ortega and his brother arrived and tried getting into the vehicle. Surveillance video allegedly showed his brother getting in but Ortega wasn’t able to, setting off an argument.

Then, video allegedly captured the sound of two gunshots from inside the vehicle.

The brother exited the vehicle as Torres and Alonso drove off.

Ortega was found with two gunshot wounds. He died at the scene as a result of his wounds.

Detectives identified Torres and Alonso using social media messages, photos and video that they say corroborated other evidence linking the two teens to the shooting.

Torres and Alonso each face charges of murder, armed robbery, conspiracy and tampering with evidence.
