The body, identified as a teenage male with at least one gunshot wound, presented significant challenges for detectives initially. A breakthrough occurred when the family of the teen reported him missing, enabling BCSO to confirm the identity of the victim as 16-year-old Jesus Quintana Cota.
The identification and notification process involved thorough and careful work, underscored by a commitment to accuracy and sensitivity due to the victim’s young age. Authorities are investigating the case as a homicide and are seeking public assistance to uncover the circumstances surrounding Jesus’s death.

BCSO addressed concerns about the timing of the announcement, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the integrity of the investigation and respecting the victim’s family during this difficult period. “Our detectives are committed to thorough and careful investigations, and sometimes these efforts require more time to ensure that every fact is verified, and every lead is followed,” a BCSO representative stated.
ABQ RAW received a few messages from individuals claiming to be related to Cota, asking why his case had not been covered by us or other media outlets. We did not have a name of the victim or what law agency who took the report.
