Albuquerque Man, 25, Charged in Double Homicide After Affidavit Cites 'Encrypted Message' Claim

The suspect remains jailed on two open murder counts pending a homicide investigation.

Overview

  • Deputies responded just before 10:30 p.m. Friday to a southwest Albuquerque home and found two adult males dead, authorities said.
  • The suspect, identified as Alexis Hernandez, met deputies at the door armed and was booked Saturday into the Metropolitan Detention Center.
  • An arrest affidavit says Hernandez admitted shooting both men, reloading at his vehicle, and returning to fire again.
  • The document records Hernandez alleging stalking, hidden cameras, and voices, plus a claim of an 'encrypted message in a cockroach' directing him to kill.
  • Two young children were removed from the residence unharmed, victim identities are pending next-of-kin notice, and a court appearance is expected this week, according to local reports.
