Following a random drive-by shooting in Albuquerque that killed a thirteen-year-old boy, investigators tracked down the getaway vehicle to Michael Flores, who purchased the car on Facebook Marketplace. During his interrogation, Flores confessed that his acquaintance, Thomas Acy, was the actual gunman who suddenly jumped out and fired approximately twenty shots at the victims. Flores admitted to modifying the vehicle and altering its listing details to evade law enforcement, leading to his arrest and subsequent guilty plea for conspiracy and evidence tampering. Meanwhile, Acy, the son of an FBI special agent, was apprehended and faced multiple felony charges, including first-degree murder. However, before his scheduled trial could take place, Acy was discovered unresponsive in his jail cell and pronounced dead, leaving Flores facing up to twenty years in prison.
