Albuquerque –
On July 23rd, 2024, two murder suspects being housed at the Bernalillo County Juvenile Detention Center were involved in a fight with each other which lead to one of them battering a guard at the facility.
According to a criminal complaint, the corrections officer was monitoring an open area with five inmates. Two of the subjects were identified as Louis Mugishawimana and Adam Sedillo. The guard went to break up the fight between the pair and he was shoved by Sedillo while he was berating the guard with disrespectful talk.
Sedillo was charged with murder back in 2022 while he was a minor and has since been housed at the Juvenile Detention Center pending his trial. He turned 19 this month in July.
There has been much public outcry to move violent offenders from the Juvenile Detention Center to the Metropolitan Detention Center. One of the biggest proponents of moving murderous juveniles out of the juvenile system is BCSO Sheriff John Allen.
These two subjects have both been charged in two unrelated murders within the Albuquerque metro area. Mugishawimana, 16, is accused of killing a man inside the strip club Knockouts on Central Ave. earlier this year. Sedillo was accused of shooting an innocent mother at a Maverik Gas Station in 2022. Sedillo’s case involved a group of teens who sought revenge about a stolen phone. Shots were fired at a car killing an occupant inside.
Sedillo has now been booked into the adult jail on battery on a peace officer stemming from hitting the guard and his trial for the murder is pending late this summer.

Just let them fight. Save taxpayers money if they kill each other.
