Fourth suspect arrested in mistaken identity shooting

Last summer’s incident led to 19-year-old’s death

A U.S. Marshals Service task force arrested the fourth, and final, suspect in last summer’s fatal shooting of a 19-year-old man in Downtown Albuquerque.

Jonathan Gabriel Martinez, 21, is charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Investigators say he and two other men — Darryus Chavez, 23, and Asad Moody, 20 — were driving up and down Central Avenue on the night of July 10 looking for a man who had beaten Moody up the week before. Investigators say they mistook Trevonte Robbins’ friend for the man and fired at both of them, killing Robbins and injuring his friend.

Moody and Chavez were arrested in November and January, respectively. Another man, Isney LaFirme, 21, was arrested in December and charged with conspiracy.

Frank Fisher, an FBI spokesman, said when Martinez was arrested investigators found a silver revolver on the floorboard of his vehicle and a woolen ski-mask.

The Southwest Investigative Fugitive Task Force, which arrested Martinez in Northeast Albuquerque, includes officers from the Albuquerque Police Department, Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office, New Mexico State Police, New Mexico Corrections Department probation and parole, Department of Homeland Security and the Marshals Service.

“This investigation highlights the strong partnership the Albuquerque Police Department shares with our many law enforcement partners,” APD Chief Harold Medina said. “Martinez’s arrest is an example of how working together can bring significant cases like this to an end and give some closure to the victims’ families.”
