Suspect Arrested In Fatal Shooting Near Albuquerque Club

Police say they've arrested a suspect in a fatal shooting near a downtown Albuquerque nightclub.

They say 25-year-old Tory Burdex is being held on suspicion of an open count of murder and conspiracy to commit a first-degree felony in connection to the October 2014 shooting.

He's been booked into jail and his bond has been set at more than $1 million.

It was unclear Wednesday if Burdex has a lawyer yet.

Police say they're still searching for Burdex's younger brother in the case.

Authorities say 23-year-old Kyle Ntiforo was shot and killed in an alley near the Lotus Nightclub after a fight broke out earlier in the club.

According to a criminal complaint, Ntiforo's younger brother witnessed the shooting and picked Tory Burdex out of a photo lineup last week.
