Judge orders alleged killer of an Uber driver held in custody pending trial

Published Modified

Sheliky Sanchez told police the day of his arrest in the shooting death of an Uber driver that he made sure his gun was loaded and ready before the driver arrived.

鈥淚t was easy,鈥 Sanchez, 18, said of the alleged shooting in a video recording of his interview with police. 鈥淚 enjoyed it. It was like an adrenaline rush. Like, a good one.鈥

A judge on Thursday ordered Sanchez held in custody while awaiting trial for first-degree murder, armed robbery and tampering with evidence in the killing of Joseph Andrus, the Uber driver shot to death.

Prosecutors played a portion of Sanchez鈥檚 interview with police during his pretrial detention hearing Thursday in 2nd Judicial District Court in Albuquerque.

Sanchez said he ordered Andrus to get out of his 2022 Ford Escape, but the driver was moving 鈥渨ay too slow,鈥 according to the recording.

鈥淗e just did not want to move,鈥 Sanchez told police in the video. 鈥淎nd once he actually ended up moving and went to go get out, I just, I just shot him.鈥

Sanchez estimated he fired five gunshots.

Thursday evening, Sanchez was charged with aggravated assault in a May incident in which he allegedly pointed a gun at his 7-year-old brother while drinking. At the time, police investigated the allegations, but the case fell apart because the family wouldn鈥檛 cooperate for the younger brother to be interviewed by detectives, according to a police spokesperson.

Judge Lucy Solimon said Thursday she considered Sanchez鈥檚 admission of guilt in the interview, among other factors, in her decision to order him held in jail pending trial.

鈥淭his is top five of the worst cases I鈥檝e seen in terms of what is alleged to have happened,鈥 Solimon said. 鈥淭he weight of evidence against him is pretty high at this point.鈥

Albuquerque police responded to a gunshot detection device at 3:09 a.m. Aug. 7 and found Andrus lying in the street in the 400 block of Merlinda SW, near Central and Coors, according to a criminal complaint.

A security video showed Andrus鈥 2022 Ford Escape traveling north on Coors at Central at 3:11 a.m., just minutes after the shooting.

Detectives learned Andrus, an Uber driver, received a ride request from a woman identified as Sanchez鈥檚 girlfriend and found Andrus鈥 vehicle outside her home in Southwest Albuquerque.

SWAT officers arrested Sanchez and his girlfriend after seeing them at her home.

Assistant District Attorney John Kloss said Thursday that Sanchez also told police that he had committed three previous killings, including one while he was in middle school. However, Kloss provided no details about the alleged killings and said Sanchez has not been charged.

The allegation prompted skepticism from Sanchez鈥檚 attorney, Lily Rowland.

鈥淚 have serious doubts with state鈥檚 assertion, despite Mr. Sanchez鈥檚 statements, that he has killed three other people,鈥 Rowland told the judge.

Rowland called the statements an example of 鈥済randstanding鈥 by her 18-year-old client.

鈥淭he fact that he would have three undetected homicides under his belt at his age, I think, is something that the court should consider as extremely unserious,鈥 she said.

Rowland also noted that someone other than Sanchez ordered the Uber ride.

鈥淚 fear that perhaps my client is taking responsibility for something he did not do in an attempt to protect someone else,鈥 Rowland said.

The complaint states that Sanchez鈥檚 girlfriend told police he asked her around 1 a.m. to order an Uber because 鈥渉is friend has a car for him and he is going to go get it.鈥

Sanchez initially denied asking his girlfriend to order an Uber and said he had purchased the Ford Escape from a man named 鈥淎ngel.鈥

When an officer told Sanchez his story did not make sense, Sanchez said he shot Andrus to 鈥渓et off some steam鈥 because he was stressed, the complaint stated. He told police he had planned to steal a vehicle or shoot a driver.

In his recorded interview, Sanchez told police:

鈥淚 just wanted to get, like, satisfied,鈥 he said in the video. 鈥淭his is just like my way of coping.鈥
