Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) – An Albuquerque man is in jail on an open count of murder for a shooting that happened in 2019. 24-year old Mylin Bill is charged in the shooting death of 43-year old Nathan Salcido when he and his girlfriend were walking around 6:30 a.m. in the area of Acoma and Madeira SE.
Police report that Bill approached the couple and asked them if they had meth to sell him. The woman told officers they said no and asked if he was a cop and Bill drove away but made a U-turn and drove towards them and opened fire. Salcido was shot once and died at the hospital. Despite years of investigating the murder case went cold until last year. Thanks to social media video and other information, police detectives were able to demonstrate that Bill was in a stolen vehicle used before and after the shooting.
He was arrested on Wednesday and remains jailed without bond this morning. The DA’s office is asking a judge to keep him in jail until his trial saying that Bill killed Salcido in cold blood and should remain behind bars.
