How they died
Deadly force
Joyce Cordova, 46, was working her job behind the deli counter at the Wal-Mart Supercenter when her ex-husband, Felix Vigil, 54, came across the counter and stabbed her multiple times, police said. That's when Due Moore, 72, a volunteer with the Albuquerque Police Department cold case unit, intervened and shot Vigil dead, police say. It was the state's first fatal shooting by someone with a concealed-carry gun permit.
