ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Albuquerque police on Monday identified a man shot and killed during an attempted armed robbery at a northeast Albuquerque coin shop in late January.

Officer Tanner Tixier said police were called to Jim Coad Rare Coins near Eubank and Candelaria on Jan. 30 for an armed robbery and were told one of the suspects had possibly been shot. Later, they learned that John Davis, 32, had been dropped off at Lovelace Women’s Hospital with a gunshot wound. He died later that day.

Police believe Davis was one of at least two suspects who attempted to rob the store. They are still looking for a second suspect.

“The individual is described as approximately 40 years old, Hispanic, and heavy-set,” Tixier said.

He said detectives are analyzing surveillance video from both the coin shop and the hospital and plan to release it to the public in the next few days in the hopes of identifying the remaining suspect.
