SW Albuquerque – The South Valley of Albuquerque can be a difficult place for people unfamiliar with the area to find certain addresses due to the rural plots and lack of posted addresses on properties in that area. This is exactly what happened to a Door Dash driver who was trying to make a food delivery on Saturday night in the 2600 block of Halcon Place NW. The driver could not find the residence for a customer and became lost.
According to a criminal complaint, the driver tried calling her customer with no answer and when she kept driving up and down an unrelated street lost she was confronted by Christina Cervantes, 42, of Albuquerque. Two other individuals identified as Lawrence Mora, 48, and Jaylene Mora, 18 of Albuquerque then also exited their residence. The delivery driver tried to explain to the group that she was a Door Dash driver and she said that she heard and saw four gunshots directed at her. She then got in the car and drove off but saw four more muzzle flashes apparently directed at her.
