Teenagers Arrested for Fatal Shooting in Southeast Albuquerque

Two teenagers have been arrested by the Albuquerque Police Department for the murder of 19-year-old Alana Gamboa, who was killed during a drug robbery. Lorenzo Lovato, 14, had arranged to purchase drugs from Gamboa but had actually set her up to rob her. Based on social media conversations, witness information, and surveillance video, detectives arrested Lovato and detained 15-year-old Micalas McClendon Jr., who admitted to shooting Gamboa during the robbery. Lovato was already on probation at the time of his arrest, and both teenagers have been booked into the Bernalillo County Juvenile Detention Center. The investigation is ongoing.
