Authorities in New Mexico are seeking a third suspect who is wanted in connection with the murder of an elderly Native man. Larry Vieux is accused of participating in a robbery and brutal beating of 66-year-old Irvin Sanchez. The incident occurred outside of a convenience store in Albuquerque on August 10, 2016. Authorities so far have arrested two suspects. Emilio Mirabal, 19, and Nigel Myron Johnson, 19, are both being held in Albuquerque. In addition to the murder of Sanchez, Johnson and Mirabal are accused of participating in a stabbing at a bus stop in the city in February. The crime appears similar to the beating deaths of two Native men in the city in July 2014. Three teens were found guilty or pleaded guilty for the savage beatings. Read More on the Story:
